Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

• Full Paper - Finished or consolidated R&D work, to be included in one of the Conference themes. These papers are assigned a 10-page limit.
• Short Paper - Ongoing works with relevant preliminary results, open to discussion. These papers are assigned a 7-page limit.

Submitted papers for review must comply with the format of Lecture Notes in Network Systems Series (see Instructions for Authors at Springer Website), be written in English, must not have been published before, not be under review for any other conference or publication and not include any information leading to the authors’ identification. Therefore, the authors’ names, affiliations and bibliographic references should not be included in the version for evaluation by the Program Committee. This information should only be included in the camera-ready version, saved in Word or Latex format and also in PDF format. These files must be accompanied by the filled 'Consent to Publish' form. All files need to compressed e.g., ( a ZIP file), and uploaded at the conference management system.

All papers will be subjected to a “double-blind review” by at least three members of the Program Committee.

Based on Program Committee evaluation, a paper can be rejected or accepted by the Conference Chairs. In the later case, it can be accepted as the type originally submitted or as another type. Thus, full papers can be accepted as short papers or poster papers only. Similarly, short papers can be accepted as poster papers only.

Poster papers and Company papers are not published in the Conference Proceedings, being only presented and discussed. The authors of accepted poster papers should build and print a poster to be exhibited during the Conference. This poster must follow an A1 vertical format. The Conference includes Work Sessions where these posters are presented and orally discussed, with a 7-minute limit per poster.

The authors of accepted full papers will have 15 minutes to present their work in a Conference Work Session; approximately 5 minutes of discussion will follow each presentation. The authors of accepted Short papers and Company papers will have 10 minutes to present their work in a Conference Work Session; approximately 5 minutes of discussion will follow each presentation.
