Requirements:
Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed

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.

Notification of acceptance of oral papers and posters: 25 July 2010
Final versions for the proceedings: 25 August 2010

Reviewing
The reviewing of the papers will be blind. Reviewing will be managed by an 
international Program Committee. Final decisions on the technical program 
will be made by the Conference Program Committee. 

Submission
The abstract should be of 1500 words maximum. The duration of the paper 
presentation should be estimated at 20-25 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 in a pgf file should be sent to fassbl at ffzg.hr
