SUBMISSION
----------------------------------------------

Full papers are to be submitted electronically using the EasyChair
server at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=latin2018.

Submissions are limited to twelve (12) single-column letter-size
pages in Springer LNCS format (see LNCS author guidelines at 
http://www.springer.com/la/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
This limit includes figures and references. An optional appendix
(to be read at the program committee's discretion) may be included
if desired. Simultaneous submission of papers to any other
conference with published proceedings, as well as the submission
of previously published papers, is not allowed. Papers must be
written in English. For each accepted paper at least one author
must register and attend the symposium to present it. Moreover, an
author cannot register for multiple papers. That is, each accepted
paper must have its own registrant.

Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of LATIN, which
will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(http://www.springer.com/la/computer-science/lncs).
