The submission must be original, and must not be submitted anywhere else, or already accepted by any other conference or journal.

The selection of papers is made on the basis of review, by the program committee. Acceptance of papers will be based on the originality of work, on the suitability of the topic to the conference, and on the overall quality of your submission.

In the conference, there will be three categories of presentations, i.e. full papers, short papers and position papers. Papers may be submitted in the following categories:
 
SCIENTIFIC / TECHNICAL PAPER: You may submit your paper either as a full paper, (max. 20 pages), or as a short paper (of max. 8 pages).
 
POSITION PAPER: Research projects of any scale are invited to illustrate innovative concepts, theories, prototypes, or experiences. Your position paper (work-in-progress) should be no longer than 5 pages. Position papers will be published in the pre-print of the conference.

The pre-print will be distributed in the conference. The final proceedings including the full and short papers presented in the conference will be distributed after the conference and published by IOS Press (Amsterdam) for international distribution.

IMPORTANT

No extra hidden codes, nor any other features that are specific to a special computer (or language) environment should be included in any form. Otherwise reviewers may not be able to open and read your paper. Once a submitted paper is found to be unreadable, the reviewing process may be stopped automatically without asking the second submission.
