PAPER SUBMISSION
Authors should submit a paper in English of up to 8 A4 pages,
carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling, using the
on-line submission procedure indicated below.
The guidelines for paper formatting provided at the conference
web site must be strictly used for all submitted papers.
The submission format is the same as the camera-ready format.
Please check and carefully follow the
instructions
and templates provided.
The program committee will review all papers and the contact author
(the author who submits the paper) of each paper will be notified
of the result, by e-mail.
Each paper should clearly indicate the nature of its technical/scientific
contribution, and the problems, domains or environments to which
it is applicable.
Due to space limitations in the Proceedings, the camera-ready
versions of accepted papers will be limited to 8 (eight) pages
for long oral presentations, 6 (six) for short oral presentations
(progress reports) and 4 (four) for poster presentations. If absolutely
needed, the number of pages may be increased up to a maximum of
12 (long presentations), 10 (short presentations) and 8 (poster
presentations). However, for each page in excess of the maximum
allowed, the author will have to pay an additional fee.
Submission procedure:
A "double-blind" paper evaluation method will be used. To facilitate
that, the authors are kindly requested to produce and provide
the full paper, WITHOUT any reference to any of the authors. The
manuscript must contain, in its first page, the paper title, an
abstract and a list of keywords but NO NAMES OR CONTACT DETAILS
WHATSOEVER are to be included in any part of this file.
The file to be uploaded must be a zip containing two files: author(s) information in one and the paper, without any author(s) information, in another. LaTeX/PS/PDF/DOC format are accepted.
The web submission facility automatically sends an acknowledgement,
by e-mail, to the contact author. Please contact the secretariat
if no acknowledgement is received.
If the author is unable to use the web-based procedure then he/she
can send the paper by e-mail to the secretariat attaching an additional
file containing: the title, author(s), affiliation(s), contact
details, a list of keywords and an abstract. Authors must also
indicate the conference area (including the topics) or the workshop,
to which the paper is submitted.
PUBLICATIONS
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings,
under an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM support.
A book
including a selection of the best conference papers will be edited
and published by Springer.

VENUE
The conference will be held in Barceló Hotel Sants. The Barceló Hotel Sants is a deluxe hotel located in the heart of Barcelona. It stays about 15 minutes from the airport, 4 minutes to Plaza de Catalunya and 500 meters to the Fira de Barcelona. Considering the hotel is exactly above the train station, it allows traveling to anyplace. Most important is the fact that all the noise from the train station is undetected because the hotel is soundproofed. The Barcelo Hotel Sants also offers on site dining and is convenient to many shopping and entertainment venues.
