• the research methodology;
• the principal findings;
• the main conclusion or implications.

The abstract should be informative and understandable without requiring reference to the full manuscript.

References, tables, figures, and undefined abbreviations should not be included in the abstract.

Introduction

The Introduction should provide sufficient background information to establish the context and significance of the research.

Authors should:

• introduce the research problem or issue;
• summarize relevant previous studies;
• identify the research gap or rationale;
• explain the significance of the study;

Avoid unnecessarily repeating numerical information that has already been presented in tables or figures.

Conclusion

The conclusion should summarize the principal findings of the research and directly address the stated research objectives.

Avoid introducing new data, arguments, or substantial discussion in this section.

Acknowledgements

This section is optional. Authors may acknowledge:

Manuscripts that do not meet the minimum requirements may be returned to the authors for correction or declined before entering the peer-review process.

8. Peer Review

Manuscripts that pass the initial editorial screening will undergo a double-blind peer-review process conducted by independent reviewers.

Reviewers may evaluate manuscripts based on the following criteria:

• scientific or scholarly contribution;
• relevance to the conference scope;
• methodological or technical quality;
• clarity and organization of presentation;
• quality and relevance of references;
