Extended abstracts of no more than 1500 words including references must be written in English and be prepared for blind reviewing, with all self-reference and personal data suppressed.

The time slots for presentations are 45 minutes, including at least 10 minutes for discussion.

We ask authors to upload their extended abstract as a “Paper” in pdf format. As EasyChair also requests an “Abstract”, please simply repeat the title of your submission in the respective field.
