Conference Theme for APWG eCrime 2024 at Boston: Taking Back Cyberspace from the Cybercrime Plexus
CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESSWIRE / June 24, 2024 / The organizing committee of the 19th annual Symposium on Electronic Crime Research (APWG eCrime 2024) announced today that the conference would extend its deadline for peer-review submissions to July 7, responding to a number of requests from its worldwide community of cybercrime research investigators.
APWG eCrime 2024 contemplates the dawn of its third decade at the cybercrime frontier by delineating the challenges that await the interveners, investigators, policy makers and stakeholders from private and public sectors attempting to arrest – and reverse – the pandemic spread of cybercrime on our public and private internetworks and the World Wide Web.

AUTHORS’ GUIDANCE
eCrime has adopted the IEEE publication format. Submissions should be in English, in PDF format with all fonts embedded, and formatted using the IEEE conference template, which can be found at https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
Submissions should be anonymized, excluding author names, affiliations and acknowledgments. Authors’ own work should be referred to in the third person.
Paper should not exceed 12 letter-sized pages, excluding the bibliography and appendices.
Committee members are not required to read appendices, so ensure that the main paper is intelligible without them.
Submitted papers that do not adhere to all the above guidelines may be rejected without consideration of their merits.
Authors of accepted papers must present them and register at the event.
For paper submissions, use the New Submission option at https://ecrime2024.hotcrp.com.
Authors will be asked to indicate whether they would like their submissions to be considered for the Best Student Paper Award. Any paper co-authored by a full-time student is eligible for this award.
Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. We understand that some authors may face difficulties in obtaining funding to attend the conference. Therefore, a limited number of stipends are available for those who are unable to secure funding. Students who will present their accepted papers themselves will be given priority in receiving such assistance.
Submitted papers risk being rejected without consideration of their merits if they do not follow all the above guidelines.
Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that was published elsewhere, or work that any of the authors has submitted in parallel to any other conference or workshop that has proceedings.
Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements.
