Instructions for Authors
------------------------

Authors are invited to submit original research papers via electronic
submission through EasyChair
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=space2016
Details of the submission procedure are posted on the conference webpage.
The submission must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations,
acknowledgements, or obvious references. It should begin with a title,
a short abstract, and a list of keywords. The paper should be at most
20 pages (including the bibliography but excluding clearly marked
appendices), using the plain LNCS format. Note that reviewers are not
expected to read the appendices and that the appendices will not be
included in the final printed version of the paper. Submissions not
meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their
merits. All submissions will be blind refereed. Only original research
contributions will be considered. Submissions which substantially
duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere, or have
submitted in parallel to any other conferences or workshops that have
proceedings, will be instantly rejected. The IACR Policy on irregular
submissions (http://www.iacr.org/irregular.html) will be strictly enforced.


Conference Proceedings
