Publication

IW-BAAS 2017 proceedings will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Sciences (LNCS). The format for paper submission is the same as the ICIAP 2017 conference (http://www.iciap2017.com/). The maximum number of pages is 10 (+1 page for references). Please refer to the LNCS web page for full guidelines about the template and formatting of the manuscript (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).

The best selected papers will have the chance of publication on a dedicated Special Issue of IEEE on Cloud Computing Journal. The journal version should have been carefully revised and extended with at least 30% of new original contribution.
Take into consideration the scope and style of the Journal. Since it is a magazine, the presentation and format of the manuscript should address the requirements available at: https://www.computer.org/cloud-computing/write-for-us/. Please check this page since it will be updated with further details as soon as available.

Venue

The conference will be held in Catania (Italy).
