Call for Papers - IMET 2023
The 3rd International Conference on Interactive Media, Smart Systems and Emerging Technologies (IMET 2023) – Technically Co-Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society will be held in Barcelona on 4-6 October 2023. IMET 2023 is organized by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and the CYENS Centre of Excellence.
The conference is dedicated to the exploration of current practices in the use of emerging and interactive technologies. The interdisciplinary research topics presented and discussed at IMET render it a rather unique venue that promotes a dearly needed blend of technology and applied research. Given the very distinct needs and methodologies of these both fields, the conference ensures that the presentation and discussion of results is accessible to both audiences, allows for fruitful discussion and exchange, and still has great scientific value allowing to promote your latest work in a welcoming mindset. We further offer post-conference invitations to the best submissions for inclusion in special journal issues, and includes educational researchers.
IMET has been created in 2021 as the flagship conference of CYENS Centre of Excellence (http://www.cyens.org.cy). CYENS constitutes a centre of excellence and a joint venture between the three public universities of Cyprus (University of Cyprus, Cyprus University of Technology and Open University of Cyprus), the Municipality of Nicosia, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics (Germany) and University College London (UK).
Best papers will be selected for publication at Computers & Graphics journal (with a 30% extension).

Submission
Accepted papers must be presented orally in English at IMET 2023. This event uses a triple-blind reviewing approach, so please be sure to remove all personal data (such as authors, affiliations, funding, etc.) from your submission. References to your own work should be made in the third person to maintain anonymity. Reviewers are asked to keep confidential all materials sent to them for evaluation. Non-anonymous submissions will be rejected without review. One registered participant may present up to two papers but each accepted paper, or poster, with multiple co-authors should have a different conference registrant.
Electronic submission of all papers is mandatory and will be conducted using the Easy Chair system. Papers must be written in English, must be anonymized, and must be formatted according to IEEE standards (A4 template) (regardless of category). IMET accepts 4 types of papers: full papers (8 pages), short papers (4 pages), poster papers (2 pages) and demo papers (2 pages), including references. Authors should ensure that their paper fits within the specified length for their submission track, including references. They should make sure that the work is original and checked through their institution’s plagiarism software/account (i.e. Turnitin).
All authors will be notified of paper acceptance after the reviewing period is finished. There is no rebuttal process. Successful submissions will be asked to carefully review their paper and make any minor modifications requested by reviewers, before uploading the camera-ready version. All papers will be checked for plagiarism by the reviewers.
