PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. All submissions should be appropriately
anonymized (i.e., papers should not contain author names or
affiliations, or obvious citations). Submissions are to be made to the
submission web site at http://www.insticc.org/Primoris.

Two categories of papers can be submitted:

- Full Paper: A full paper presents a work where the research is
completed or almost finished. Authors of regular submitted papers
will indicate at the time of submission whether they would like
their paper to also be considered for publication as a position
paper.
- Position Paper: A position paper presents results that are
preliminary or that simply require few pages to describe. A position
paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts,
situations, methods, procedures, or results of scientific research
(bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one
of the conference topics. The acceptance of a position paper is
restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster".

Submitted papers must be formatted according to the SECRYPT format
(with the exception that authors should be blinded in the submission),
which is described at http://secrypt.icete.org/paper_formats.asp.
Submission page limit is 10 pages for full paper and 6 pages for position papers.
Accepted papers will be subject to the limit of: 10 pages (for full papers), 6
pages (for short papers), and 4 pages (for posters). Submitted papers
will be subject to a double-blind review process. All submissions
should be anonymized. All accepted papers/posters will be published in
the conference proceedings. A short list of presented papers will be
selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be
published by Springer-Verlag in a CCIS Series book. Authors of
accepted papers/posters must guarantee that their papers/posters will be
presented at the conference.
