All submitted papers will be reviewed by a minimum of two reviewers. The conference uses double-blind review by at least two reviewers, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. To facilitate this, authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not give away their identity.

The published proceedings will be indexed in ResearchBib, ProQuest, Academia, ResearchGate, Scirus, and Google Scholar Databases, in addition they will be submitted for POSSIBLE inclusion within the INSPEC, EI, DBLP and Microsoft Academic Research,
