All full papers must use the templates (Springer) provided. Only submission with their source file (word / LaTex) and PDF file will be accepted for the review process.

The workshop proceedings will be published by Springer.

All manuscripts (abstracts and full papers) need to be uploaded through the EasyChair portal.
