The Twelfth International Conference on Advances in System Testing and Validation Lifecycle

VALID 2020


Security & Trust & Testing



Greetings,
With everyone's health and safety in mind, we are adapting some of the ways in which IARIA conferences are organized:
1. The submission deadlines (and other dates such as notification and camera ready) are rather flexible in order to account for possibly limited author access to the academic/industrial premises where the research work is taking place.
2. During the conference, authors will be able to present their work via pre-recorded videos and/or conference calls (in case they opt to avoid travel).
3. The diligent peer-review process will operate normally and the proceedings of the conference will be timely issued in order to not affect any particular scientific need (graduation, research reports, budget reports, and preparing for grant submissions).
4. Selection of awarded papers and invitations for expanded versions for IARIA journals are not affected by the presentation method (pre recorded or in person)
5. Potential postponement and relocation of events will be decided by the logistics on a case by case basis and depending on government and/or health organization regulations and recommendations.
We wish you health and safety during these tough times.
Looking forward to your cooperation!
