This year, we will also accept PoCs of security applications under a separate demo track and allow submission of artefacts.

There will be the best paper award. It is sponsored by IDRBT Hyderabad and it is associated with a cash prize of INR 15000 (approx USD 180).
Out of the papers accepted for publication at ICISS 2024, a select few outstanding papers will be invited in their extended form to be published in the Indian Academy of Science's journal Sadhana. The program committee may ask some authors to shorten their paper to a short paper of 8 pages to be presented in a poster session, instead of a plenary session.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC co-chairs grant permission for a substitute presenter before the conference. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final correctly formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the Springer LNCS 15416 proceedings.
