Paper Submission
================

Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format through the easychair system http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sera2015.

We solicit research and experience papers as well as research-in-progress in any of the technical areas listed under Scope and Topics. Each submission will be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of originality, importance of contribution, soundness, evaluation, quality of presentation and appropriate comparison to related work. The decision whether to accept or reject the paper will be based on the reviews and the consensus of the program committee.

Authors are invited to submit full papers (6 pages) of double column text using single spaced 10 point size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages. Please review the CPS Publishing PDF specifications (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) before submitting your paper.
Up to an extra 2 pages (total of 8) can be purchased at registration time.

To ensure a blind review, the author’s name and address MUST NOT appear in the submitted paper.
