Proceedings of refereed and presented papers will be published 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: scicom13@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.
