Submission Guidelines

• Report on accomplished, unpublished research work
• Present a novel method, technique or analysis with appropriate empirical or other evaluation as a proof of validity
• Evaluation focuses on originality, technical soundness and the soundness of the real use demonstration.
• Page limit: 16 LNCS pages.

• Short reports of preliminary results or work in progress
• Evaluation focuses on originality, technical correctness and the value of the planned results in a short to mid-term perspective
• Page limit: 8 (short paper) or 4 (extended abstract) LNCS pages

• Help understand a relevant problem without introducing a novel method, technique or approach.
• Examples: a review placing a problem onto the state-of-the-art landscape and analyzing how far current solutions fall short; an in-depth discussion and analysis of a certain problem, with clear definitions and argumentation in terms of qualitative or quantitative representation of the main characteristics of the problem.
• Evaluation focuses on the soundness of the problem analysis and on the interest for the scientific community.
• Page limit: 16 LNCS pages.

• Report on industrial or academic deployments of ICT
• Experiences in the effective and efficient use of ICT in education
• Evaluation focuses on significance and practical relevance, technical soundness, and accompanying evaluation or industrial validation.
• Page limit: 12 LNCS pages.

The papers submitted as one of the above types (I-IV) and (i) evaluated as not sufficiently mature by the Program Committee; and (ii) recognized by the reviewers as interesting and promising in their idea or approach; may be recommended to be accepted as a Poster.

• Concise presentations of early-stage research in the form of an Extended Abstract. These papers outline preliminary ideas, concepts, initial results shaping out the future work. Posters will be presented in a separate poster session.    
• Evaluation focuses on originality, technical correctness, the value of the research ideas, and the potential to become a mature research outcome in a short-to-mid-term perspective.
• Page limit: 4 LNCS pages.
