Call for Journal Article Presentations

EWSN has partnered with prestigious journals to incorporate presentations of some of their articles into the main program. The authors of recent articles published in these journals are invited to present their work at EWSN 2024 to expand the outreach of their archival publication while complementing the main research track program offered to attendees.

The journals currently part of this agreement with EWSN are:

  • ACM Transactions on Internet of Things (TIOT)
  • ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks (TOSN)

Eligibility Requirements

To meet the requirements for journal presentation, an article:

  • Must have been published by any of the journals above no earlier than 24 months before the submission deadline below, or be currently accepted for publication;
  • Must be in the scope of the conference, as described in the Call for Papers at https://ewsn24.tii.ae/calls-submission.html#cfp;
  • Should report new research results or novel contributions that significantly expand upon previous work;
  • Must not have been presented previously at, or be under consideration in, similar journal article presentation tracks at other conferences/workshops/symposia such as SenSys’24.

How to Submit

The authors of eligible journal articles can submit their application to present at EWSN 2024 via HotCRP at https://ewsn24journal.hotcrp.com, notably including information about:

  • Title, authors and affiliations, and abstract of the article;
  • A URL pointing to the original accepted article on the journal website, or a PDF copy of the article currently accepted but not yet published with a copy of the acceptance notification appended to the end of the article;
  • A statement explaining how the article meets the eligibility requirements.

Selection Process

As eligible journal articles have already been reviewed and accepted by the partnering journals, the selection process does not include a re-review of their technical content. Instead, submissions are checked against the eligibility requirements above.

If the number of eligible proposals exceeds the one allocated in the main program, priority is given to articles that best fit the conference scope, complement the program, and maximize participation; for example, as they are authored by researchers who do not have another paper in the conference program already. Journal articles that are not an extension of papers already presented at EWSN or closely-related venues are generally preferred.

Presentation, Attendance, and Publication

It is expected that at least one of the authors of a journal paper accepted for presentation at EWSN registers to the conference and attends the event. Journal paper presentations will take place in the regular main conference track; they will be grouped by topic with the accepted papers of the main conference. As journal articles have already been published, they will not be part of the EWSN proceedings. However, the information about where to retrieve the original journal paper will be listed in the conference program published in the proceedings and on the conference website.
