Papers and Extended Abstracts

This year, we will be accepting two categories of papers:

  • Full length papers (up to 10 pages)
  • Extended abstracts (4 pages for content and 1 page of references)

Extended abstracts can describe very early work and ideas; full length papers should describe work that is more developed. We urge authors to write with the breadth of the symposium’s scope in mind; papers should be as self-contained as possible, and should not assume specialist background knowledge, in order to enable as many participants as possible to engage with the contribution.

Papers and extended abstracts should be formatted using Springer’s LNCS style

Paper and extended abstract submissions will only be accepted via Easychair

Posters

Posters must be submitted in two stages. Poster abstracts will be reviewed based on an initial submission of a one-page (maximum) abstract of the poster’s content, with the camera-ready version of accepted poster abstracts to follow. Poster abstracts should be formatted using Springer’s LNCS style. The posters themselves should be A0 size.

Posters will only be accepted via  Easychair

Publication

The proceedings of the symposium (full-length papers, extended abstracts and poster abstracts) will be published as a technical report by the Department of Computer Science, The University of York. The report will be freely available online. Several hard copies will also be printed.
