Important dates
Submission deadline: January 18, 2013
Notification: March 3, 2013

Submission
Submission is through the EasyChair conference system. Please make your submission here. The submission process requires registration to create an EasyChair account prior to submission.
Submission format
The authors should submit an extended abstract not exceeding 10 single-spaced pages on A4 (or US letter) paper, including references, figures, title, authors, affiliations, e-mail addresses, and a short (one paragraph) abstract. Use reasonable margins and at least 11-point font. The authors are strongly advised to use the LaTeX style file supplied by Springer Verlag for Lecture Notes in Computer Science here.
Papers must be submitted as a single file in PDF format.
Additional material intended for the referee but not for publication in the final version - for example details of proofs - may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit.
Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously unpublished work and surveys of important results. At the time the extended abstract is submitted to CPM, and for the entire review period, the paper (or essentially the same paper) should not be under review by any other conference with published proceedings or by a scientific journal.
Final proceedings format
The authors must use the above mentioned LaTeX style file supplied by Springer Verlag. The final paper must be in strict LNCS format and not exceed 12 pages in 10-point font. No tricks will be allowed, such as the fullpage- or new font-packages.
