Instructions for Authors
Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted in parallel to any other peer-reviewed conferences or journals in consideration for publication. Papers must be written in English and be fully anonymous with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. They should be in the standard LNCS format (except for author names and affiliations---remember submissions must be ANONYMOUS) and at most 16 pages long in total including appendices and bibliography. Note that appendices need to come in front of bibliography according to the latest LNCS format. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merit. Some papers may be accepted as short papers. Papers may be accepted and merged with another accepted paper. Papers may be conditionally accepted for shepherding. After a paper is accepted, at least one of the authors of the paper must register with the workshop before the due date of the camera-ready version and is also required to present the paper in the workshop. In the event no author registers with the workshop or no author participates in the workshop, the paper will be rejected regardless of the reason. The title and the list of authors of the final version cannot be changed from its submission unless otherwise approved by the Program Co-Chairs.
All contents beyond 16 pages or appearing after the bibliography are regarded as supplementary material. Reviewers are not required to read any supplementary material. Supplementary material is only informational, and submissions should be intelligible and complete without it. Supplementary material must not remain in the camera-ready version.
