-
Option C - Poster Section: For those who're NOT looking to publish their papers, it's acceptable to submit your POSTER to the conference, which will be sent to at least two technical committees for a brief review, and will be published into national Proceedings published by LCV (Laboratory of Visual Communication). This process of publishing does not have submission amount limitation.
Rules
-
Articles should be preferably submitted in English to the Conference Proceedings of BTSym’21
-
Authors and Attendees will receive BTSym'21 certificates.

Note: The submitted manuscript is checked from licensed plagiarism software like Turnitin.
Submission Instructions
All submissions will be peer reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical and/or research content/depth, correctness, relevance to conference, contributions, and readability. Submissions will be chosen based on technical merit, interest, applicability, and how well they fit a coherent and balanced technical program. We firmly believe that ethical conduct is the most essential virtual of any academic. Hence any act of plagiarism is a totally unacceptable academic misconduct and cannot be tolerated.
