This venue
Control, systems, and automation crossover; for pure software systems, compare Journal of Software.
A signed author pledge with the first-author institution’s stamp is required with the PDF (waived if the first author is abroad). Any readable first layout is fine; apply their template after acceptance.
Length
Write a complete article. Some notes suggest a floor around 5k characters. Not a conference short.
Review
ScholarOne double-blind: strip names, grants, even from the filename. Signed pledge with first-author institution stamp required with the PDF (waived if first author is abroad).
