Decisions regarding acceptance of talks for oral presentation at the
conference will be made by the Program Committee on the basis of

adhere to the formatting requirements may be rejected. Accepted talks
will be included into the conference program if at least one author pays
the conference fee.

Pre-conference proceedings will be published in English (peer reviewed,
referenced in Scopus database), presumably in Springer series
"Communications in Computer and Information Science". All proceedings
papers must be prepared by Springer rules for the LNCS:

The following two options are acceptable for proceedings papers:
- Regular paper, 10–14 pages;
- Short communication, 6–8 pages.
The proceedings papers should present new unpublished results. Decisions
on acceptance of papers to the proceedings will be made by the Program
Committee on the basis of evaluations of reviewers.
---------------------------------
Submissions and Registration
Both LaTex and pdf-files of the abstracts should be sent via e-mail to
the address of the Organizing Committee opta2018@yandex.ru . Authors
willing to submit a proceedings paper following an abstract, should
