SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or a full paper of at
most
12 pages in English, not including references, in the LNCS format (LaTeX,
as pdf; final
version with source); instructions are here:
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

Proofs and other material omitted due to space constraints are to be put
into
a clearly marked appendix to be read at discretion of the referees. Papers
must present original (and not previously published) research. 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.

Submissions by PC members will be allowed but will be held to a higher
standard than non-PC submissions.

We are carefully
watching the situation with the Covid-19 pandemic. We hope to conduct a
physical event, but it will be possible to participate in the event online
for those who are unable to come due to travel restrictions or other
circumstances. In case the situation in Russia does not allow us to
organize a meeting in place, we are planning to move the event online but
not to postpone it.
