Submission Details

Submissions are to be uploaded to the conference submission portal. However, please read the instructions below before doing so.

Instructions for Authors:

For the submission of draft papers (i.e., papers submitted for evaluation), any reasonable formatting/typesetting is acceptable. Authors of accepted papers will later receive specific typesetting instructions to prepare their final versions. The final papers are expected to use the standard Springer Nature typesetting format ("US letter" standard size):

All submissions must be original and must not have been previously published or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. For categories of papers and page limitations, refer to https://seet26.sw-conf.com/#tracks. Submissions must be in either MS doc or PDF formats (only one file should be uploaded/submitted for each paper).

All submissions will undergo testing for similarity and overlap with previously published materials utilizing the iThenticate tool. The findings regarding any overlap will be accessible to the Steering Committee for assessment. A committee will examine potential breaches of the Springer ethics guidelines in publishing.

Large Language Model (LLM) Policy

Please note that manuscripts generated by large-scale language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT are prohibited as submissions to SEET 2026. We will allow papers for which LLMs are used for light editing the author's original text, such as spelling and grammar corrections.

Best Paper Awards

The conference will have the following awards announced and bestowed at the closing session.
- Best Paper Award
- Best SRC Award

The author of an awarded paper and co-authors, if any, will be entitled to:
- An official award certificate that is signed and stamped;
- A public announcement of their accomplishment on a dedicated conference webpage

Selection Criteria

The awards will be granted to the author(s) of a paper presented at the conference, as chosen by the Program/Track Chairs. The criteria for decision-making will take into account the quality of the paper (evaluated by the Program Committee) and the quality of the oral presentation (based on feedback from session chairs at the conference venue). Therefore, to facilitate a final ranking in a prompt manner:

- Papers chosen as nominees for best paper awards will be showcased during sessions on either the first or second day of the conference.
- Candidates for the "Best Student Paper Award (SRC)" must be presented by students, although authors may also include senior members.
