Paper submission

The WFCS conference is seeking two kinds of submissions:

• Regular Papers
  
  The WFCS conference is seeking submissions of up to 8 double-column pages reporting on novel and significant contributions to the field of industrial communication systems. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a pdf version of their papers through the WFCS submission system. The submitted material (in English language) must be unpublished and not under review elsewhere. Submissions must include e-mail addresses and fax/phone numbers of the corresponding author. As specified in the Call for Papers, submitted regular papers may be eventually selected for two different objectives, namely the WFCS 2015 Proceedings and a Special Section of the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics (TII). For this reason, in the submission procedure you are undertaking, you will be asked whether your paper has to be considered also for the TII Special Section or just for the WFCS conference. Please refer to the Call for Papers for any further information.

  Regular paper submission

• Work-in-Progress (WIP) sessions
  
  These sessions are intended for presentation of recent ideas and on-going works up to 4 double-column pages, describing research that has not yet produced the results required for a regular paper, but that due to its novelty and potential impact deserves to be shared with the community at an early stage. Accepted WIP papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
  WIP submissions should be prepared according to the same guidelines as regular papers, and should be submitted through their own WIP electronic submission system. Accepted papers will be published in the conference's proceedings.
