PROCEEDINGS
----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Authors are invited to submit original contributions in English with
eight (8) single-column letter-size pages in the Procedia format.

The submissions are expected to be fully self-contained (including
references). In the case that the 8-page format is insufficient for
the whole submission, authors are encouraged to place some of the
material in an optional appendix. This appendix will not be published
in the proceedings and hence should not be referenced within the body
of the 8-page paper, but it will be used to evaluate the submission.
Please also check the Guide for authors of Procedia Computer Science.

Simultaneous submission of papers to any other conference with
published proceedings, as well as the submission of previously
published papers, is not allowed.

The submission process must be completed electronically through
EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lagos2023).

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the
conference to be included in the program.
