Paper Submission Guidelines

Submission Instructions

Submission System
Paper submissions are handled through EasyChair.
Paper Format
All submissions must be in PDF format. Papers must be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines.
Types of Submissions
  • Contribution papers (12 pages). Peer-reviewed papers presented in paper sessions.
This type of contribution should not have been published elsewhere and should not currently be under consideration for another journal, conference, or workshop.

  • Extended abstracts (6–9 pages). Paper-less talks intended to encourage timely system reports, industrial experience, and emerging results without forcing a paper publication. This type of contribution may present work in progress or contributions that have already been published or are in preparation for publication.
Publication
