Along a Railroad

Mode of Operation

The ICHSS 2018 at Peradeniya will operate under the key theme "Development, Diversity, and Harmony through Knowledge and Innovation" and sixteen sub themes. Depending on the volume and type of submissions, several concurrent thematic sessions will be held under each sub-theme.

Prospective paper presenters at the conference are kindly encouraged to submit directly the extended abstracts of their papers to the EasyChair Conference Management system (please see below for details).

All the extended abstracts received in time and in conformity with the submission guidelines will be forwarded to relevant reviewers who will make the final decision. By the stipulated date, the Conference Secretariat will notify all authors whether or not their extended abstracts have been accepted. Those whose extended abstracts have been accepted with revisions should duly revise and send them back. All accepted extended abstracts will be published in the Conference Proceedings.
