Paper Submission Details

Authors are invited to submit research and application papers, not exceeding 5000 words, representing original, previously unpublished work. Papers that substantially exceed this limit will be rejected without review. However, it is possible to include additional, clarifying material in an appendix to the paper. Papers which have been submitted in identical form to another scientific event will also be rejected without review. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. All papers will be refereed by three members of the program committee.

 

All accepted papers will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer-Verlag.
