Instructions for Authors

Submissions must be in English, and must not be substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any journal or other conference or workshop that has proceedings.

Submissions will take place entirely via a web system via the conferencesubmission page.

All submissions will be blind reviewed. The paper must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. It should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords.

Authors are invited to submit papers (PDF format) with novel contributions electronically using the submission form available on the conference web site. Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, anonymous, and not submitted to journals or other conferences/workshops that have proceedings. Submissions must be written in English and should be at most 18 pages in total including bibliography and appendices. Papers not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration. All submissions will be blind-refereed. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference and must make a full version of their paper available online. (see guidelines for paper preparation and Latex style

Committee members are not required to review more than that, so the paper should be intelligible and self-contained within this length. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
