Understanding a "Call for Papers"
A CFP is the complete blueprint for a conference submission. It's the most important document for prospective authors and typically includes:
• Conference Themes and Topics: The specific subjects the organizers are interested in.
• Submission Formats: Whether they require a full paper, an extended abstract, or just an abstract.
• Key Dates: The submission deadline, author notification date, and camera-ready paper deadline.
• Formatting Guidelines: The required template, page limits, and citation style.
• Publication Details: Where the accepted papers will be published (e.g., in proceedings by IEEE, Springer, ACM) and their indexing status (Scopus, EI Compendex).
