Call for Papers

EAI FABULOUS 2021 will be held as a fully-fledged online conference.

In 2020, EAI successfully launched an online conference format to ensure the safety, comfort and quality of experience for attendees and a successful course of the events, all while retaining fully live interaction, publication and indexing. Due to the unrelenting global pandemic, this will also be the case in 2021. Although we will miss having everyone meet and connect in person, we feel strongly that knowledge exchange must continue, if not more so. That is why we have equipped our online conferences with live viewing with chat, virtual Q&A, and a multitude of other measures to provide you with a great experience. All of this while making the registration for co-authors and non-authors completely free to give you the biggest possible audience. Learn more about EAI’s online conferences here.

Scope

The extensive use of information and communication technologies led to the development of various new concepts and paradigms, such as the Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence. Such concepts are used today in every environment, business, or private with the purpose of rising business efficiency, development of new services, and optimization of a business process. In such an ecosystem of interconnected elements and advanced communication between humans and machines, a great challenge is to achieve and retain the required level of security and privacy.

FABULOUS 2021 is held under the theme Security of innovative services and infrastructure in traffic/transport/logistic ecosystem. The event aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of innovative and sustainable solutions for ubiquitous and intelligent communication infrastructures.

Paper submission

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection. You can learn more about Community Review here.
