› Authors should submit an original paper in English, carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling, using the on-line submission procedure. Be sure to follow the formatting instructions below.
› The authors are requested to produce and provide the paper WITHOUT any reference to any of the authors: this means that it is necessary to remove the authors' personal details, the acknowledgements section and any reference that may disclose the authors identity.
› LaTeX/PS/PDF/DOC/DOCX/RTF format are accepted.
› The web submission procedure automatically sends an acknowledgement, by e-mail, to the contact author.
› The submission format is the same as the camera-ready format. After the reviewing process is completed, the contact author (the author who submits the paper) of each paper will be notified of the result, by e-mail. The authors are required to follow the reviews in order to improve their paper before the camera-ready submission.
Paper Submission Types:
›Regular Paper Submission
A regular paper presents a work where the research is completed or almost finished. It does not necessary means that the acceptance is as a full paper. It may be accepted as a "full paper" (30 min. oral presentation) , a "short paper" (20 min. oral presentation) or a "poster".
›Position Paper Submission
A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topic areas. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster", i.e. a position paper is not a candidate to acceptance as "full paper".
