Submission guidelines
---------------------

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most 12 pages. Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX, using the OASIcs style file. The paper should contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their significance, accessible to non-specialist readers. Proofs omitted due to space constraints can be put into an appendix to be read by the program committee members at their discretion. Papers must be submitted electronically at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=atmos2014. The submission must be received by June 22, 2014. Each accepted paper must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.

The proceedings will be published online and as open-access in the Dagstuhl Open Access Series in Informatics (OASIcs).
