REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PAPERS IN THE BOOK: «Lecture Notes in Computational Intelligence and Decision Making» (SERIES «Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing»)

It should be noted that one author can be co-author not more than in two papers. Exception is the scientists who are heads of the scientific schools and their PhD students presents the joint results of the research.

Preparing papers:

Submitted full papers have to be at least 10 pages and at most 25 pages in length. The only allowed format for the submission is PDF. The file should be prepared using LaTeX template and by building PDF using Tex engine. We strongly recommend using the TeXstudio! An example of a prepared paper can be downloaded by the link (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kbQOZWq7Kin2EirXDqHv81osui4aWs8X?usp=sharing ).

To implement this procedure, it is necessary:

1. Download and install the latest versions of  TeXstudio  (https://sourceforge.net/projects/texstudio/) and MiKTeX (https://miktex.org/download)

2. Download the folder with the paper example (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kbQOZWq7Kin2EirXDqHv81osui4aWs8X?usp=sharing ) to the separated directory.

3. Open the file author_LNDECT2022.tex using TeXstudio. Run the compiling process using green or double green triangular pictograms at the options panel. As a result, the author_LNDECT2022.pdf file should be generated in the working directory. This file is a final version of the manuscript.

4. Rename the author_LNDECT2022.tex file by changing the authot to the author’s name (for example, wong_ LNDECT2022.tex). Change the paper content taking into account the content of your manuscript.

It should be noted that literature resources should be prepared using bib file (in the folder author_reference.bib)!!! This file can be opened from the TexStudio window. Change also the authot to the author’s name.  

Ethics and Permissions. The results of the research presented in the manuscript should be original. However, if figures, tables, animations, or text quotations from copyrighted works (including websites) are included in the paper, permission must be obtained from the copyright holder (usually the original publisher) and the author(s) for both the print and the online format.

Avoidance of Self-plagiarism. A certain overlap in scientific content between articles by the same author is standard practice and to be expected. However, it is essential that transparency is retained and appropriate references included. Permission must be obtained from other publishers, where appropriate.

Structuring paper:

1. The affiliated institutions, including town/city and country, are to be listed directly below the names of the authors. We encourage authors to include their ORCIDs in superscript next to their names (see example). We strongly recommend that all authors include their email addresses in their papers.

2.  Abstract. The abstract should briefly summarize the contents of the paper in 150–250 words. Short abstract (less than 150 words) is not acceptable.

3. Keywords. An example of keywords presentation is shown in paper_example.pdf file.

4. Introduction and literature review. This section detail describes the current state of the problem with references to appropriate works. We strongly recommend to refer not only the Ukrainian authors' works, but and foreign authors' publications too. Moreover, the percent of self-citation should not be more than 25%. And finally, the quantity of linking to one author should be correct (2-3). At the end of this section it is necessary to define unsolved part of the problem and to form the aim of the research.

5. Materials and Methods.   This section contains theoretical part of the research. The detail describing the methods used to solve the current problem should be presented in this section. We strongly recommend to divide the original paper into theoretical and practical sections. Exception is reviews of the current state of the scientific research in the specific field. Of course, this and other section can be divided into subsections with appropriate titles. The title Materials and Methods is not also obligatory. You can be named this section correspond to topic of your research. However, this section should contain only theoretical part of the research.

6. Experiment, Results and Discussions. This section can be divided into two or three separate section (Experiment, Results, Discussion). In this section (sections) it is necessary to present the experiment performing (it can be computer simulation), obtained results and detail discussion of the obtained results.

7. Conclusions. In this section, it is necessary to present the solved problem, short describe the methods and steps of its solution and to describe shortly the obtained results. The Conclusions section have to be of at least 250 words and at most 400 words length.

Style of the paper:

1. Figures and Tables.  It is essential that all illustrations are clear and legible. Vector graphics (rather than rasterized images) should be used for diagrams and schemas whenever possible. Please check that the lines in line drawings are not interrupted and have a constant width. Grids and details within the figures must be clearly legible and may not be written one on top of the other. Line drawings are to have a resolution of at least 800 dpi. The lettering in figures should not use font sizes smaller than 6 pt (~ 2 mm character height). Figures are to be numbered and to have a caption which should always be positioned under the figures, in contrast to the caption be-longing to a table, which should always appear above the table. Figures and Tables should be cross referred in the text. The files with figures should be named as follows: Figure_Author_Name_Number.png (see example).

The tables can be created using TeXstudio options, as it is presented in example file, or using table generator in on-line (https://www.tablesgenerator.com/ ).

2. Formulae. Displayed equations or formulae are centered and set on a separate line (with an extra line or half line space above and below). Equations should be numbered for reference. The numbers should be consecutive within the contribution, with numbers enclosed in parentheses and set on the right margin. Please do not include section counters in the numbering. Equations should be punctuated in the same way as ordinary text.

The equations also can be created using TeXstudio options, as it is presented in example file, or using equation generator in on-line (https://www.codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php?lang=ru-ru)

3. Program Code. Program listings or program commands in the text are normally set in typewriter font:

program Inflation (Output)

{Assuming annual inflation rates of 7%, 8%, and

10%,... years};

const MaxYears = 10;

var Year: 0..MaxYears;

Factor1, Factor2, Factor3: Real;

begin

  Year := 0;

  Factor1 := 1.0; Factor2 := 1.0; Factor3 := 1.0;

  WriteLn('Year 7% 8% 10%'); WriteLn;

  repeat

     Year := Year + 1;

       Factor1 := Factor1 * 1.07;

       Factor2 := Factor2 * 1.08;

      Factor3 := Factor3 * 1.10;

     WriteLn(Year:5,Factor1:7:3,Factor2:7:3,…

4. Citations. The references should be created in author_reference.bib file using  TeXstudio options considering the type of the publication. We strongly encourage you to include DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) in your references. The DOI is a unique code allotted by the publisher to each online paper or journal article. It provides a stable way of finding published papers and their metadata. The insertion of DOIs increases the overall length of the references section.

Submission of the paper and important dates:

1. The pdf version of both the thesis prepared using the format Microsoft Word or/and the paper prepared using the LaTex template should be submitted by OCS - Free Online Coference Service (https://ocs.springer.com/misc/home/ISDMCI2022) to 21.03.2022. To do it, it is necessary to register and login in OCS system.   

2. The review process will be going from 21.03.2022 to 30.04.2022. 

3. Deadline for final corrected papers submission is 16.05.2021. The authors should submit the zip archive which includes all files in accordance with Latex_Example folder to OCS system. The file should be named as follows: author_LNDECT2022.zip.  Moreover, the authors should also submit the filled and signed by the corresponding author copyright downloaded from the OCS system too (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oGcIw_kgyvDot7rg98dX3HtsQMf5-Z5N/edit ).
