All submissions will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the EuSEC review team according to the criteria stated above. Based
on the reviews and on the discussion of papers in the program committee, the decision which papers to accept for the
conference will be taken. Papers that do not conform to the submission instructions will be rejected without review.
The INCOSE Manuscript Template must be used to prepare a close-to-final paper of between 8 and 15 pages (including
