Submission Guidelines:

Full Technical Papers should be at most 15 pages (using 11-point
font), excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices.
Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the

should be presented at the Workshop. At least one author of each
accepted paper must register to the workshop, by the early date
indicated by the organizers, and present the paper.

Contributed Talk Abstracts should be at most 2 pages (using 11-point

versions for their publication in the the revised selected papers
proceedings. All extended versions will be refereed.

Proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series. The submitted paper (in PDF format)
should follow the template indicated by Springer (see
