ABSTRACTS
We request anonymous abstracts of 600-1000 words (plus references) in plain text or PDF, plus a short abstract of up to 120 words. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference (orally or as posters) and published in the proceedings. (We plan to provide a copy of the proceedings to the corresponding author.) We foresee slots of at least 20 minutes per talk.
All submissions will be reviewed double-blind by at least two members of the programme committee. Submission online at EasyChair: http://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eucog2015
Technical note: The EasyChair system will ask you for an “abstract” and a “paper”. For us, “abstract” refers to the short abstract (up to 120 words) in plain text, while “paper” refers to the long abstract (600-1000 words), which can be submitted as a PDF or plain text. Accordingly, please do not use the check-box “Abstract Only”. (The abbreviation “Corr. Auth.” stands for “corresponding author”.)
PUBLICATION
Details on the publication for 2015 are not yet finalized but we will publish a volume of proceedings to include all accepted papers, planned to be published within 6 months of the event. Submission and presentation at the conference do not entail an obligation of the author(s) to publish in the conference proceedings.
