We plan to continue publishing the proceedings of only refereed and presented papers as a special volume of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)

The abstracts (up to 1 page stating clearly the originality of the results) are to be written in standard LaTeX. The length of the contributed papers is limited up to 8 pages. It is assumed that one participant will present not more than one talk.

The abstracts and papers are to be sent to: scicom11@parallel.bas.bg . If this is the case, please indicate the special session and send a copy to the session organizer.

It is highly recommended to prepare the source file in LaTeX2e using the Springer class file llncs.cls (llncs.dem is a sample input file which you may take as a source for your own input and you can prepare the references as Springer requests.

You can download the needed files from: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

The conference fees cover: the booklet of abstracts, conference materials, the publication of conference proceedings, the coffee breaks, the conference reception and official dinner, the excursion, and local transportation from Burgas Airport and Burgas Railway Station at June 5.

Transportation

For the conference participants who will fly to Sofia, we will arrange a special bus from Sofia to Sozopol and return as follows:

Sofia-Sozopol: 16:30, June 5, Hotel of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (it was known before as hotel "Kedar")
Sozopol-Sofia: June 10 (after the lunch from the conference place)

Another attractive way to organize your travel is to use a direct regular or charter flight to Burgas airport.

If you inform us in advance about the precise arrival time on June 5, at Bourgas Airport or at Burgas Railway/Buss Station, we will provide (free of additional charge) a special transportation to the conference place in Sozopol.
