Submission Guidelines

Proceedings. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published in the ACM Digital Library.

• - A presentation slot will be provided for each accepted paper.
• - The maximum paper length is 6 pages, including references. Papers not respecting such limit will be rejected.
• - All submissions must be written in English and follow the double-column standard ACM format for conference proceedings. The official "ACM Master article template," which can be obtained from the ACM Proceedings Template pages should be used. Select the "sigconf" option, as well as the "review" (to produce line numbers for easy reference by the reviewers).
• - All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee using a double-blind method. So, it is required that no personal information or reference to the authors should be introduced in the submitted paper.
• - Submissions will be evaluated concerning their technical quality, relevance, significance, originality, and clarity.
• - At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop and present the paper. Failure to attend and present the paper at the conference will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the ACM proceeding.
