Paper Format and Submission

All manuscripts should be written in English and submitted in PDF format. The review process is peer review and double-blind; authors' names should not be included; only accepted papers will be requested to include names. There are three paper submission categories:

• Long Paper (Scientific Paper). Submissions should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The length is 6 to 8 pages. Each accepted paper will be presented either in a plenary session as part of the main conference or in a poster session. The presentation may include a system demonstration. We expect the review process to be highly selective. Papers that do not respect the minimum and maximum length and include authors' names will be automatically rejected.  
• Short Paper (Case Studies or practical research). Submissions typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a scientific paper like case studies. The length is 4 to 6 pages. Each accepted paper will be presented either in a plenary session as part of the main conference or in a poster session. The presentation may include a system demonstration. Papers that do not respect the minimum and maximum length and include authors' names will be automatically rejected.
• Poster Papers. Submissions that present new ideas and initiatives with the potential to advance the state of research and state of practice in the field. The length is up to 4 pages. Each accepted paper will be presented in a poster session. Papers that do not respect the maximum length and include authors' names will be automatically rejected.
