Submission instructions
———————————————————————————

Authors are invited to submit full papers that are unpublished and not under review elsewhere. Papers are to be no more than 6 pages (overall, i.e. including references). A maximum of 1 additional page may be purchased.

All submissions will undergo a peer-review process by Program Committee members in a single blind fashion.

All accepted papers will be published as part of the PerCom satellite events proceedings. Proceedings will be published by the IEEE and available online through IEEE Digital Library.

Important: each accepted paper requires a full PerCom registration and at least one author attending the workshop in person to present it (no registration is available for workshops only)
