Submission:
Authors are invited to submit original (and not previously published)
research. Submissions consist of two parts: the main paper and an appendix
(which might be empty). The main paper must be at most 14 pages in length,
including references. All proofs omitted from the main paper due to space
constraints should be given in the appendix or made accessible through a
reliable link to a freely available electronic preprint. The papers must
be submitted in English, in the LNCS format (LaTeX, as pdf; final version
with source) with page numbering turned on using the \pagestyle{plain}
command; instructions are here:

Simultaneous submission to journals or to other conferences with published
proceedings is not allowed. The proceedings of the symposium will be
published in Springer's LNCS series. Accepted papers MUST be presented
at the symposium.

Submissions should be uploaded to the EasyChair Conference system:
