Proceedings

A special volume of refereed and presented papers will be published as a post-proceedings in the Springer Series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

Abstracts and papers

The abstracts and papers are to be sent to: scicom19@parallel.bas.bg. Please indicate the special session (if this is the case) and send a copy to the session organizer.

The abstracts (up to 1 page stating clearly the originality of the results) are to be written in standard LaTeX using the provided template. It is assumed that one participant will present not more than one talk.

The length of the papers is limited up to 8 pages. It is highly recommended to prepare the source files for the papers in LaTeX2e using the Springer class file llncs.cls (samplepaper.tex 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). Both llncs.cls and samplepaper.tex are available in the zip with LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates.

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