Notice on Abstract-only Submissions (Axx/Pxx)

For the abstract-only submissions of ISFT 2024 (whose IDs labeled by "A" or "P"), ISFT gives researchers an opportunity to disseminate their preliminary work and get feedback from the participants without precluding publication elsewhere. ISFT also accepts work that was previously presented in journals or conferences for this category. Therefore, presentations in this category, which are informal and without publication, should not restrict the right to submit to other journals or conferences in the future, nor should they be considered republication or results of double submissions of any kind.
