MESAS’23 Call For Papers

NATO M&S COE requests all interested researchers and technicians of academic, industrial or military research centers to send an abstract, to be evaluated by members of MESAS’23 Technical Program Committee.

The Full Papers submission phase is ongoing.

 

Preliminary conference timeline was set as follows:
Abstract Submission:      Currently accepting
Abstracts have been approved soon later submission, so, the work on a full paper will begin once papers are delivered. 

Final Papers Upload:               AUGUST 21, 2023

Assignment of Reviewers:      AUGUST 22, 2023
Review:                   until   SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 
Decision:                until   SEPTEMBER 27, 2023

Full papers selected by the Scientific Committee will be included in the post conference proceedings. Previous MESAS proceedings are indexed in the ISI Conference Proceedings Citation Indes – Science (CPCI-S) and EI Engineering Index (Compendex and Inspec databases).

Abstracts and their registration
Authors are requested to send abstracts (a brief description of about 200 words is sufficient but not limited ).
Abstracts will be approved after submission. Authors of approved abstracts will be asked to prepare a full paper following the Springer template, then to present the paper during the MESAS’23 Conference.
Please, also add the PDF format of your abstract (optionally enriched by additional information, comprehensive description, drawings, architecture, algorithms and so on).

Please note that SPRINGER company is providing for the MESAS’23 new paper collection platform in the EquinOCS system since last year. Your new registration to this platform is required if you did not attend last year’s MESAS. (Guidefor the EquinOCS system). After registration, you can use this direct MESAS’23 conference link to upload the abstract.
