With the rapid development of information technology, all sectors of society are undergoing digital transformation, and a huge amount of data is generated. At the same time, information processing fields such as signal and image processing continue to cross and integrate with computer science, mathematics, physics and other disciplines, and new theories and methods continue to emerge. However, the traditional single technology has been difficult to cope with the challenges of integration, analysis and application of complex multi-source heterogeneous data, and advanced hybrid information processing has gradually become a research hotspot in academia and industry. In this context, the 9th International Conference on Advanced Hybrid Information Processing aims to build an interdisciplinary exchange platform for experts and scholars in related fields from all over the world to share their latest research results and development trends by integrating multi-disciplinary technologies such as artificial intelligence, signal processing, data mining, and cybersecurity. To solve the cross-domain, cross-modal complex information processing problems, in order to promote the field of information processing theory and technology innovation.

1. Go to Confy+ website.
2. Log in or sign up as a new user.
3. Select your desired track.
4. Click the ‘Submit Paper’ link within the track and follow the instructions.

• All papers must be submitted in English. 
• Previously published work cannot be submitted, nor can it be concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. These papers will be rejected without review. 
• Papers must follow the Springer formatting guidelines (available in the Author’s Kit section). 
• Authors must read and agree to the Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement.
• As per new EU accessibility requirements, going forward, all figures, illustrations, tables, and images should have descriptive text accompanying them. Please refer to the document below, which will assist you in crafting Alternative Text (Alt Text)

HOW TO WRITE GOOD ALT TEXT

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

• Regular papers should be up to 12-15+ pages in length.
• Short papers should be 6-11 pages in length.

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.

Papers must be formatted using the Springer LNICST Authors’ Kit.

Instructions and templates are available from Springer’s LNICST homepage:

• LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates (zip)
• Microsoft Word Proceedings Templates (zip)

Please make sure that your paper adheres to the format as specified in the instructions and templates.

When uploading the camera-ready copy of your paper, please be sure to upload both:

• a PDF copy of your paper formatted according to the above templates, and
• an archive file (e.g. zip, tar.gz) containing the both a PDF copy of your paper and LaTeX or Word source material prepared according to the above guidelines.
