Contributions

Two types of contributions are accepted: Full Paper and Extended Abstract. We will not accept any paper that, at the time of submission, is under review or has already been published or accepted for publication in a journal or conference. This restriction does not apply to extended abstracts since they are not targeted for publication in the proceedings. The review process is single-blind.
If in doubt, please contact the Publication Chair (matteo.zignani@unimi.it)

Full Paper

Extended Abstract

Recommended to be between 2-3 pages. They should not exceed 4 pages.

Format

Each submission must follow the Springer publication format available on the website of Springer Nature  for conference proceedings.
