Acceptance process, conference proceedings, presentations

The submitted extended abstracts will be reviewed and evaluated for acceptance. Authors of accepted abstracts should submit full papers following the given guidelines.

The submitted papers will be published as conference proceedings, available as printed book (with ISBN number) and cd-rom.
A limited number of selected papers may be chosen for an additional academic volume. These papers will have to pass a double blind peer review process by the scientific/technical committee before publication.

The works presented at the conference will be differentiated into three groups: accepted papers (upon review of the submitted extended abstracts), invited speaker presentations (with or without papers), technical presentations (mainly from exhibitors, eventually without papers).

Guidelines for manuscript preparation and submission

Information about manuscript preparation and submission will be provided later.
