[SUBMISSIONS]
There are three categories of submissions:
- regular papers describing fully developed work and complete results
(15 pages / 30 minute talks);
- short papers reporting on interesting work in progress and/or
preliminary results (7 pages / 15 minute talks);
- system and experimental papers describing implementation or evaluation
of experimental systems and containing a link to a working system
(4 pages / 10 minute presentation).
Submissions should:
- contain original contributions that have not been published or submitted
to other conferences/journals in parallel with this conference;
- clearly state the problem being addressed, the goal of the work,
the results achieved, and the relation to other works;
- be in PS or PDF and formatted according to Springer LNCS Instructions
for authors: http://www.springeronline.com;
- be in English and in a form that can be immediately included in the
proceedings without major revision;
- be attached (if necessary) by an appendix that contains proofs etc.
However, the paper must be self-contained without the appendix in that
reviewers may not read the appendix;
- be sent electronically (as a PostScript or PDF file) through the
submissions link to the conference website:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=psi11 not later than
February 28, 2011.
Submitted regular papers that are judged to have limited merit may be
accepted as short papers, with up to seven pages in the proceedings.
At the time of submission, authors should indicate if they wish to have
their submission considered as a short paper in the case it is not
accepted as a regular one.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register, attend the
conference and present the paper.
[CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS]
A preliminary book of tutorial, invited and accepted contributions will be
handed out at the conference. The final versions of the invited, regular
and short papers presented at the conference will be published by
Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series after the
conference. One can find the proceedings of the previous six conferences
in LNCS, Vol. 1181, 1755, 2244, 2890, 4378 and 5947, respectively.
[LOCATION]
The conference will be held in Akademgorodok which is located in a
picturesque place near the Ob lake, 30 km South from Novosibirsk, the
largest city of Siberia. Silence, beautiful landscape, and pure air are
the factors promoting scientific activity and creativity during the
conference.
[TRAVELLING]
You can fly to Novosibirsk via Moscow by Aeroflot, Transaero or S7.
Direct S7 flights will bring you from Frankfurt, Hannover, Seoul or
Beijing to Novosibirsk and back. Now you can buy electronic tickets on
Aeroflot, S7 and Transaero flights via the websites and pay by VISA and
other popular cards. All participants will be met at the Novosibirsk
airport and brought to Akademgorodok by a special transport.
[WEATHER]
The weather in Novosibirsk at the end of June is normally quite warm and
sunny with the temperatures in the range of 25-30 C.
[SATELLITE WORKSHOPS]
N.B. Three satellite workshops will be held in conjunction with PSI'11:
- Program Understanding,
- Educational Informatics,
- Science Intensive Applied Software.
