Topics of interest

Before you submit

  • Read the full call for papers — page limits, template (IEEE, ACM, LNCS …) and whether review is double-blind.
  • Deadlines are usually 23:59 AoE — convert to Bangladesh time (UTC+6) and aim to submit a day early.
  • At least one author normally has to register and present; budget for the fee and, for in-person events, a visa appointment well before the conference.
  • Look for student travel grants and volunteer programmes — most large conferences run both, with deadlines soon after notification.
