Two types of template are available, a Word and a LaTeX source. Using either files you must prepare a 'camera ready' PDF PDF file for submission.
2) Go to the submission form and register. You will get a proper message online and you will receive the ID number of your paper, and the credentials (login and password needed to continue the submission) by e-mail.
Each registration allows you to submit one paper, only: if you want to submit more than one paper, you must register as many times as needed, to get an unique ID number for each of them.
3) Go to the submission form and use your credentials to insert all information.
Name your one-page-abstract PDF file by using the ID assigned to your contribution, and upload it.
Please note that there is a maximum dimension permitted for the PDF file (approx. 5 MB). If you need to upload a larger file, please contact the Organizing Committee.
The upload procedure accepts only PDF files, and the name must correspond to the assigned ID. Any other file will be rejected.
By using your credentials you can modify any information, and also delete the contribution at any time till the deadline of the submission procedure.
In case of problems with the online submission system, please contact the Organizing Committee.
Any of the following conditions may result in rejection of a paper:
- failure to submit the paper by the deadline date;
