Submissions Guidelines:

Academic papers. All papers will undergo a double-blind review by at least two reviewers from the symposium’s program committee. All accepted papers will be published in a CD of proceedings, after full payment of registration fees by at least one author. Given the strict reviewing process, most papers will be selected for publication as special issues in leading refereed journals. At least one author should present the paper at the symposium. Here are guidelines for academic papers.

White papers. White papers from practitioners are strongly encouraged. Accepted papers will be published in full or in abstract form in a CD of proceedings, after full payment of the registration fee by at least one author. At least one author should present the paper at the symposium. Here are guidelines for white papers.

Extended abstracts. Some authors, especially practitioners, may choose to contribute with a presentation without submitting a paper. All presentations (whether accompanied by a paper or not) are 30 minutes long followed by 5 minutes for discussion. The symposium will not accept presentations in the form of commercial promotional material for a business or product.
