“Securing the Intelligent World: Convergence of AI, Cloud, and Cyber Defence”

ICETCIS 2027 invites original, unpublished research papers and survey articles reporting substantive new results across the three technical tracks: Cyber Security and Digital Forensics (CSDF), Intelligent Systems and Applications (ISA), and Emerging Technologies and Applications in Computing (ETAC). Submissions must not be under review or published elsewhere at the time of submission. See the Tracks page for the detailed topic list under each track.

Publication: Accepted and presented papers may be considered for inclusion in Springer, Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS), a Scopus-indexed proceedings series, subject to Springer's editorial and quality standards. Papers selected for the proceedings must meet Springer's formatting and originality requirements: AI-generated content must be 0% (no AI-written text is permitted in any form), and the plagiarism similarity score must be less than 10%.

Submission Guidelines

How to Submit

Manuscript Format

Manuscripts must follow the Springer LNCS-style author template (Word / LaTeX), to be shared with the Call for Papers package once the publication route is confirmed. Standard papers run 12-15 pages including references.

Submission Portal

Papers will be submitted and tracked through Microsoft CMT (cmt3.research.microsoft.com), the primary online management system for ICETCIS 2027. The CMT submission link will be published here once the conference site is live.

Review Process

Double-blind review with a minimum of three independent reviewers per paper. Reviewers declare conflicts of interest; no author reviews their own submission. Borderline papers are resolved by the Track TPC Chair.

Plagiarism Screening

All shortlisted papers are screened using an institutional plagiarism detection tool. Overall similarity must be below 10% with no single source exceeding 3%. References, bibliography, and properly cited quotations are excluded.

Integrity Standards

Submission Policy

AI-Generated Content Policy

Submissions must be entirely written by the authors. The permitted AI-generated content in any submitted paper is 0% — text produced by large language models, AI writing assistants, or any automated text generation tool is not allowed in any form. Papers found to contain AI-generated content will be desk-rejected without review.

Plagiarism Policy

Submitted papers must have an overall similarity score below 10% and must not exceed 3% similarity from any single source, as checked via the institutional plagiarism detection tool. Papers exceeding this threshold will be rejected without entering the review process.

Excluded from similarity calculation: references, bibliography, quoted material with citation, and author names and affiliations.

Author Status Tracking (Coming Soon): A dedicated author portal for checking submission status, review outcome, presentation schedule, and venue/session details is planned for a later stage, closer to the camera-ready and registration window (around January 2027). In the interim, submission and review management will be handled through Microsoft CMT.
