When uploading the camera-ready copy of your paper, please be sure to upload both:

  • a PDF copy of your paper formatted according to the above templates, and
  • an archive file (e.g. zip, tar.gz) containing the both a PDF copy of your paper and LaTeX or Word source material prepared according to the above guidelines.

ValueTools 2024 accepts submissions in four categories:

  • Regular research papers, up to 20 pages in length (excluding references).
  • Work-in-progress papers on early results, up to 10 pages in length (excluding references).
  • Tools experience papers describing tools for performance evaluation of complex systems, up to 10 pages in length (excluding references).
  • Vision papers on new, disruptive ideas (supported, if possible, by empirical evidence and measurements) that differ from prior published work, up to 10 pages in length (excluding references).

Please note that papers shorter than 6 pages will be published, but not indexed.
