Submissions

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract, presenting original research on the theory of Computer Science, of no more than 12 pages, including the title page, but excluding references and any appendix, in the LIPIcs style (instructions available here). The usage of pdflatex and the LIPIcs style file (see here for some formatting tricks) are mandatory: papers that deviate significantly from the required format may be rejected without consideration of merit.

Submissions will be in electronic form via EasyChair.

Accepted papers will be published as proceedings of the conference in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs), under a CC-BY license, as a free, open, electronic archive with access to all. Instructions for formatting camera-ready versions will be communicated to the authors of accepted papers. Authors will retain full rights over their work. For an accepted paper to be included in the proceedings, one of the authors must commit to presenting the paper at the conference.
