Expectations

The Journal Track is specifically intended for submissions that would benefit from the longer articles possible in TRETS (up to 32 ACM-style single-column pages), e.g., for clearer presentation of complex research, or an in-depth discussion of comprehensive results.

Papers accepted or papers accepted subject to minor corrections in this stream will be given the opportunity to present in FPT 2024. Papers with major corrections may be given the opportunity to present at FPT 2024, provided a final decision has been made by October 31st.

Please note – if you submit to this track, you cannot submit to the conference track of FPT 2024.

Instructions

When you decide to submit to the Journal Track, you will use the TRETS submission system to submit to the “FPT’24 Journal Track” (which you can select after logging into your TRETS account), and then follow the ACM TRETS Author Guidelines as described above.

Note that the deadline for the FPT Journal Track is earlier than the deadline for direct FPT submissions. Your submission will then undergo the regular TRETS review process, and you will be provided with an initial set of reviewer comments and recommendations as outlined in the schedule above. If your submission is not rejected here, you will have sufficient time to revise the submission, and then submit it for a second round of reviews for inclusion in the Journal Track. You will be notified of the final decision on your TRETS Journal Track submission together with the rest of the direct FPT submissions.

If your revised version is not accepted in time for the FPT Journal Track deadline above (including if it requires another round of revision), you may choose to have an eventual later revision continue as a regular TRETS submission, independently of the FPT conference.

Accepted Journal Track papers will receive a regular presentation slot at the conference, but will only appear as an abstract in the FPT proceedings. That abstract will refer to the full publication in TRETS.
