Accepted papers will be published by Springer as part of their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Electronic paper submissions are accepted in two categories: full papers and work in progress papers. Full papers have a length of up to 16 pages while work in progress papers have a maximum length of 8 pages, both of them following the Springer LNCS format. Both full and work-in-progress papers appear in the proceedings.
We use a double-blind reviewing process. Please do not include the author’s name and affiliation or any other type of information that may disclose the authors in the submitted paper itself. As a result of the reviewing process, the Program Committee may suggest changes in the format and/or the contents of the paper, including the category of the paper. In this case, a paper will be conditionally accepted. The Program Committee Chairs will decide on the final acceptance or rejection based on a second analysis of the revised paper.
Springer LNCS templates are available and should be used for submitted and camera ready papers: (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors?SGWID=0-40209-0-0-0).
The papers should be submitted using the EasyChair submission site.
The authors of the best papers presented at the Conference will be invited to submit extended versions a journal special issue.
