Guidelines for Submissions:
Submissions should include the following information:
 - Author's name
 - Affiliation
 - E-mail address
 - Paper title
 - An abstract with a maximum of 500 words, excluding references
Abstracts must conform to the following guidelines:
 - Abstracts must be submitted in MS Word format (*.doc or *.docx).
 - Abstracts must have no more than 500 words of narrative text.
References do not count towards this 500-word limit.
 - The title of the abstract should appear at the top of the page but
does not count as part of the 500-word limit.
 - Abstracts must not exceed two A4 pages in length, must have 2 cm
margins on all sides, must be set in Times New Roman with a font size
12 pt, and the first lines of paragraphs should be used. The text must
be justified, with 1 line-spacing used for running text. No exceptions
to these requirements are allowed. This means that all content (i.e.
narrative text, titles, examples, tables, figures, captions, and
references) must fit in two pages.
 - Examples, tables, graphs, etc. must be interspersed into the text
of the abstract, rather than collected at the end.
 - The “References” section should immediately follow the end of the
text, without beginning a new page. The heading "References" should be
justified, set in 12 pt Times New Roman bold, with one blank line
above and one below. The references themselves should be in 10 pt
Times New Roman, justified on both sides.
The official languages of the conference are English, Asturian and
Spanish. All paper proposals are assumed to represent original and
