Guidelines for submitting an abstract and paper to COMA'22<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Instructions in these guidelines are relevant to abstracts and full papers for the COMA '22 conference. We are excited to announce that the COMA '22 proceedings will be published by Springer Nature in the book series: Lecture Notes in Production Engineering (TBC). We look forward to seeing the high quality submissions received for COMA '22 to be accessible and displayed on a global platform.<\/p>\n

Abstract submission guidelines<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstracts may be submitted electronically on the EasyChair website. Go to the EasyChair<\/a><\/strong> site and create an account if you have not used the system before. Log into your account using your Username and Password. The system will take you to the COMA '22 site where you select [author]. Complete the electronic submission form with your abstract information. Your abstract needs to be written separately in a Microsoft Word document and copied into the Abstract field or written on the EasyChair system in the Abstract field. Do not upload your full paper at this time if you would like to participate in a category where a full paper is required. Your abstract first has to be approved before submission of a full paper will be accepted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
