- Systematic surveys of competing techniques and paradigms.
The questions addressed should be practically relevant and of generic interest. Full-papers should include a systematic evaluation of the contribution and relate it to the established state of the art and competing recent contributions.

At least one author is required to register and present the paper.
Format
Research Papers: Full papers are limited to 12 pages and short papers to 6 pages in Springer LNBIP formatting. Please follow the official Springer LNBIP formatting instructions.
Posters and Demos: For the poster session, we invite a two-page abstract for review. Final posters have to be in DIN A1 or smaller.
