Call for papers

 

The workshop Program Committee is composed by the seminar coordinators and lecturers, who are responsible by the call for papers, the program topics, the schedule and the paper format.

 

The exact workshop schedule depends on the workshop date, which will be in February, on a week where no other exams exist.

 

Students submit papers with about 5 pages, receive the comments and prepare the final version with the corrections. During the workshop, each student must present his paper and assess the colleagues work in a relative way.
