Full paper submissions are subjected to a formal peer-review
process. Only papers neither published nor submitted elsewhere may be
submitted for publication. Contributions must indicate the name,
postal address, e-mail address, phone and fax number of the contact
author. In order to support the reviewing process a preliminary
submission of a half-page abstract is required, announcing the
intention to submit a full paper and summarizing the content of the
paper, its objectives and original contribution. Full papers must not
exceed the maximum length of 14 pages to be edited according to the
LNCS templates provided by Springer-Verlag at the web site:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/ In order to guarantee the quality of
the presentations, each accepted paper must be presented by one of its
own author at the conference. The language of the conference is
English.
