Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Papers must be written in English and should be between 12 and 15 pages in length.

Papers may not be submitted to other conferences or journals during the WAF 2018 review period nor may they be already under review or published in other conferences or journals. Overlength papers will be rejected without review.

Papers must be submitted electronically via the Easychair conference System. Prior to submitting a paper, authors must register and log in to that platform. Submitted PDF papers should be anonymous for double-blind reviewing.
