Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality original technical papers reporting original research of theoretical or applied nature for presentation at the conference and publication in the GIIS 2022 Proceedings. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. The manuscripts must be prepared in English, following IEEE two-column Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings (available here) with a maximum length of five (5) printed pages without incurring additional page charges (maximum 2 additional pages are allowed with over length page charge of 100€ for each page). Papers exceeding 7 pages will not be accepted. All papers for the GIIS 2022 Tracks should be submitted via EDAS using https://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=29936.

Please note that every accepted paper must be accompanied by at least one FULL registration and must be presented in order to be published in the GIIS 2022 conference proceedings and IEEEXplore.
