1. Preliminary Paper submission (for review)

A preliminary paper presents a work where the research is completed or almost finished (it could be an extended abstract). It may be accepted as a "full paper", a "short paper" or a "poster".

A "double-blind" paper evaluation method will be used. To facilitate that, the authors are kindly requested to produce and provide the paper, WITHOUT any reference to any of the authors. This means that is necessary to remove the authors personal details, the acknowledgements section and any reference that may disclose the authors identity. PDF or DOC file format are accepted.

The web submission procedure automatically sends an acknowledgement, by e-mail, to the contact author.

2. Final Paper (Camera-ready) submission (for publishing) 

After the preliminary paper 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 final paper (camera-ready) submission and inclusion in the conference proceedings. Only PDF file format is accepted (for help converting a DOC file into a PDF file you may click here).
