WUSS 2025 Paper Submission System.
Copyright Grant Forms & Final Papers are due August 10, 2025.
OVERVIEW
Below is the essential information to guide you as you create your paper and prepare your presentation. You will also find detailed guidelines, templates, and other helpful resources on our Presenter Resources page.
Your proposal will need to include a paper title of no more than 250 characters and a summary (abstract) of no more than 250 words. You will also be asked to provide the name of each author along with each author’s affiliation (such as company or university), email address, and a short biography of no more than 75 words. Biographies should be written in the third person.
To improve the chances of your paper being selected for the conference, it is strongly recommended that you include a working draft or outline. This will give the section chair a better idea of the content, style, and quality of your paper.
The proposal deadline will be July 14, 2025. Each author may make up to three (3) submissions.
There are several ways to present: 50-minute papers, 20-minute papers, and 10-minute papers. There will be several concurrent sections or presentation tracks at the conference. A list of planned conference sections and descriptions can be viewed here. When you submit your proposal, you'll be able to indicate which presentation format you prefer as well as a first-choice and second-choice academic section. This information will help our reviewers decide which section would be appropriate. If we are in doubt as to the best choice, we will talk to you!
Every presentation requires the submission of a paper (except SAS Demos and Masterpiece Theater). These papers will be published as part of the official Conference Proceedings at the WUSS website. To meet the expectations for publication in the Proceedings, please refer to the WUSS 2025 Submission Guidelines, Paper Template, and other tools available on our Presenter Resources page.
PRESENTER OBLIGATIONS
Authors are required to follow guidelines and deadlines as described in the Submission Guidelines on our Presenter Resources page. If any of these guidelines or deadlines are not met, WUSS reserves the right to remove the abstract and presentation from the conference schedule and exclude the paper form the conference proceedings.

- Submit the Copyright Grant Form signed by all authors on or before August 10, 2025.
- Submit a final paper in PDF format consistent with the WUSS Submission Guidelines by August 10, 2025.
