  • Each accepted paper is limited to 10 pages only. No extra pages are allowed.

What to submit?
For papers prepared using LaTeX (preferred):

  • a text file containing the name and email address of the corresponding author
  • the source (input) files: TeX, bib, and figure files

  • the PDF file of the final version

Please download the copyright form in the conference system. You can download it when you go to “Final upload” and click on “Download Copyright Form Draft”. Fill out and sign the copyright form (it is sufficient if one author from each contribution signs the form on behalf of all the other authors):

Alternatively, you can scan a printed and signed copyright form. Please name your copyright file copyrightPID.pdf, where PID has to be replaced with your paper ID.

Please create a ZIP file (file extension .zip) or gzipped tarball (file extension .tgz) containing all the items above. Submit this file through the conference management system using the link provided in the email you received. You can submit more than once, in which case old versions will be overwritten.
