    Paper Submission:

    Papers should be at most 15 pages not including the bibliography
and well-marked appendices. Reviewers are not required to read the
appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without
them. Submission instructions will be posted soon. One of the authors
of an accepted paper must register for the conference to present the
paper.

    All papers and research reports should be formatted using Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) style. Paper submissions will be
electronic only. Only pdf files will be accepted. Please do not submit
MS Word documents. Formatting guides and style sheets (for LaTeX and
MS Word) are available from the Springer LNCS site. Camera-Ready
manuscript must be submitted in LaTeX.

    Dual Submission Policy:

    Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that
have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal
or a conference with proceedings.

    Ongoing Research Reports:

    There will be two sessions to present reports on the current
research projects. One session will be for academic institutions and
the other for the industrial establishments. The research reports
should be submitted in the same way as the technical papers. A report
should maximum be of 4 pages.

    Tutorial Proposals:

    There will be a tutorial program for two days (17-18 December
2007). At most four three-hour tutorials will be offered. Proposals
are invited for tutorials of duration three hours on relevant topics
of current interest. A tutorial proposal should include the extended
abstract of the tutorial and a brief biography of the speaker
(s). Please mail your proposal to the Tutorial Chair. The speaker(s)
of accepted proposals need to submit their final presentation one
month before the conference to the Tutorial Chair.
