Paper submission

All full-time PhD students at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics are expected to submit a paper to SCYR 2025. Authors are required to submit their paper in English language, in pdf format, ensuring it is thoroughly proofread for grammar and spelling accuracy. You can upload your paper here: EasyChair.

Instructions and paper templates

Please, use the current SCYR paper templates from this website. Carefully review and follow the provided instructions in templates. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in your paper being returned for revisions before acceptance. It’s essential that all submitted papers strictly adhere to the formatting guidelines on the conference website.

Remember to include your supervisor’s name and your year of study (examples are provided in both templates). When converting your document to PDF, ensure the page size is A4, not Letter. Double-check the spelling of author names, as this information is crucial for the conference proceedings. Pay close attention to diacritics and spelling. For example, “Nosáľ” is correct; “Nosal” and “Nosaľ” are incorrect. The same applies to your paper’s title (the submission title).

Your paper will be assigned to either the Electrical Engineering or Computer Science section based on its topic. During the online submission process via EasyChair, you’ll be presented with a list of topics; choose the one that best matches your paper. The submission format must match the camera-ready format. 

 

 

 

Each paper must be single-authored and focus entirely on the student’s PhD dissertation and research findings. The required length and content vary depending on the student’s year of study, so please follow the specific instructions below.

PhD students in their 1st year of study

You must submit stricltly a four-page (8 columns) review paper summarizing the current state of knowledge in your dissertation’s research field. The paper should critically analyze and evaluate existing published work in the field, clearly formulating your perspective on these contributions. It should include following sections:

  • Introduction: A brief overview of your research topic (approximately 0.5 columns).
  • Literature Review and Analysis: A comprehensive analysis of the current state-of-the-art, including a discussion of relevant research, your commentary, and your assessment of the field. Include links to the cited literature (approximately 5 columns).
  • Problem Identification and Future Directions: A summary of solved and unsolved problems in the field, an assessment of which problems are realistically solvable, and a proposed direction for future research (approximately 1.5 columns).
  • References: A list of at least 20 references, primarily from scientific articles published within the last 10 years

PhD students in their 2nd year of study and above

You must submit a two-page minimum (4-columns) up to three-page maximum (6-columns) summary of your PhD work that you did in the past year. This paper should include:

  • Introduction and Motivation: A brief introduction to your research topic and the rationale behind your research questions (approximately 0.5 columns).
  • Background and Progress: A summary of the existing work and completed tasks before the past year (approximately 0.5 columns).
  • Recent Achievements: A detailed description of the tasks you completed in the past year, the results you obtained, an interpretation of those results, a description of any contributions or achievements, and recognition of any awards you’ve received during the last year (approximately 1.5 to 2 columns).
  • Future Plans: A proposal outlining the next steps for your research (approximately 0.5 columns).
  • References: A list of references.

Undergraduate (Bc.) and graduate (Ing.) papers

These papers showcase the results and contributions of bachelor’s and master’s (engineer’s) theses. Each paper can have a maximum of two authors, one of whom must be a bachelor’s or master’s student. A PhD student may be a co-author, but cannot be the sole author. If there are two authors, neither can be a PhD student. A PhD student who co-authors a paper in this category is still required to submit his own paper as PhD student.
