Requirements

Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed 
work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of 
completion of the reported results. Wherever appropriate, concrete 
evaluation results should be included. Submissions will be judged on 
correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and relevance 
to the conference, and interest to the attendees.


Important dates

Submission of extended abstracts for oral/poster papers: 2012-07-08
Notification of acceptance: 2012-07-31


Reviewing

The reviewing of the extended abstracts will be blind. Reviewing will be 
managed by an international Program Committee. Final technical decisions 
on the program will be made by the Conference Program Committee.
The contributions from the conference will be published after the 
conference in a book prepared and edited by the Tapir Akademisk forlag 
(University of Trondheim Publishing house, http://www.tapirforlag.no).


Submission

The extended abstract should be of 1500 words maximum. The duration of 
the paper presentation should be estimated at 20 minutes.
As reviewing will be blind, the abstract should not include the authors' 
names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the 
author's identity, should be avoided. Papers that do not conform to 
these requirements will be rejected without review.
The MS-Word/RTF document template for final version of the papers can be 
downloaded from here and a paper example from here.
Submissions should be sent to fassbl at ffzg.hr.
