We accept three types of submissions: (1) Research papers should describe original research, with a maximum length of 4 pages. (2) Compressed papers consist of a summary of previously published work, with a maximum length of 2 pages. Accepted papers are presented at the conference, in the form of oral or poster presentations (the concrete presentation mode will be decided based on the authors' preferences and reviewer suggestions). (3) Demonstrations showcase applied research and industrial products. Each demo is described by at most 2 pages and will be presented in a dedicated session during the workshop. Presenters of accepted demos will be provided with tables, power sockets and an Internet connection.
All submissions must be received by March 8th, 2013 and will be reviewed by domain experts on the basis of the originality of the work, the validity of results, chosen methodology, writing quality and overall contribution. All papers should be submitted digitally in pdf-format, using the ACM SIG Proceedings style. The conference language is English.
