Submission Guidelines

Contributions can be either original or published works, as well as concise reports of research lines developed in recent years accessible to the whole community. Submissions could also be devoted to summarizing the results of recently concluded or ongoing research projects or illustrating specific experimental applications of theoretical results. A Programme Committee will assess the quality of the submissions based on their scientific value.

Contributions should consist of an extended abstract of at most 2 pages (free format), including figures and references. Traditionally, the IEEE double column format is used. All extended abstracts and presentation slides must be written in English.

Please refer to the conference website for more details on submission and special sessions.
