Paper Submission Guidelines

General Information

An author wishing to present in the conference will create a document consisting of a complete description of his/her ideas and applicable research results in four (4) to six (6) pages only.
Papers should be formatted according to the Guidelines described here. All papers must be written in English and submitted in MS Word format (.doc) or Portable Document Format (.pdf).
Paper submissions will be reviewed by experts selected by the conference committee for their demonstrated knowledge of particular topics. Authors will be notified of the review results by email.

Requirements

Papers should be four (4) to six (6) pages long, including all text, figures, and references. The paper must be formatted according to the paper template provided below.

Paper Template

Papers must be submitted by the deadline date. There will be no exceptions.
Accepted papers must be presented at the conference by one of the authors, or, if none of the authors are able to attend, by a qualified surrogate. The presenter must register for the conference at one of the rates offered, and must register before the deadline given for author registration. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of your paper from the conference proceedings and program.

Originality

The paper must be an original contribution. By submitting a manuscript to IConCEES 2015, the author guarantees that it has not been previously published (or accepted for publication) in substantially similar form. Furthermore, no paper that contains significant overlap with the contributions of this paper either has been or will be submitted during the IConCEES 2015 review period to any other journal or conference.
If there are papers that may appear to violate any of these conditions, then it is the authors' responsibility to cite these papers, argue in the body of your paper why your IConCEES 2015 paper is non-trivially different from these concurrent submissions, and include anonymised versions of those papers as supplemental material.

Publication

All papers accepted and presented at IConCEES 2015 will be published in MATEC Web of Conferences (ISSN: 2261-236X) that is indexed by SCOPUS, Thomson Reuters, Engineering Village, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Inspec, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) and Google Scholar.

MATEC Web of Conferences is an open-access journal focused on the publishing of conference proceedings dealing with all fundamental and applied research aspects related to Materials science, Engineering and Chemistry.

No-Show Policy

Papers that are accepted must be presented at the conference, either by the authors themselves, or via proxy. In case a paper is not presented at the conference, it shall be deemed a "no-show". No-shows will be removed from post-conference distribution and will not be available on open-access journals.

Exceptions to this policy will be made in rare and unusual situations by the Organising Committee only if there is evidence that the no-show occurred because of unanticipated events beyond the control of the authors, and that every option available to the authors to present the paper was exhausted.

Authors of no-show papers wishing to appeal the no-show status of their paper must appeal by email to the Organising Committee (iconcees@uthm.edu.my) no later than 14 days after the start of IConCEES 2015 and must provide evidence to convincingly demonstrate that their absence was as a result of forces beyond their will and control, or that an erroneous decision was made.

Decisions on appeals will be made by the Organising Committee based on the supporting evidence provided. Failure to meet the appeals deadline will automatically result in rejection of the appeal. Possible evidence for exceptions include medical documents, death notices, airline ticket receipts, visa-rejection letters, and other official documents supporting the appeal such as visa-application receipts (proof that the application was submitted at least 8 weeks prior to the conference start date).
