** Instructions for Authors **

 

  Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted

to other conferences or journals for consideration for publication.

Papers must be written in English and be fully anonymous with no

author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references.

They should be at most 16 pages long in total (including bibliography

and appendices), in the standard LNCS format (except for author names

and affiliations). They should be submitted electronically in PDF

format. A detailed description of the electronic submission procedure

will be available at the workshop website. Submissions not meeting the

submission guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their

merits. A part of papers may be accepted as short papers. At least

one author of each accepted paper is required to register with the

workshop until final version due, and is also required to present

the paper in the conference. If no author registers or presents

the paper, the paper will be rejected regardless of the reasons.

Note that, if your paper is accepted, the title and the author list

in your submission cannot be changed when preparing the final version

without the approval of the program co-chairs.

 

** Proceedings **

 

  Proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes

in Computer Science series.

 

** Best Paper Awards **

 

  Prizes will be awarded to the authors of the best paper(s) and the best

student paper(s).
