RT2 - Information & Communication Technologies

Latest developments in the Information and Communication Technologies extend to numerous individual research fields. Both the academia and the industry have exhibited great interest on the current evolution toward the new era of ICT. A key feature of this forthcoming technological era is the high degree of integration of the individual fields in the context of a unified architecture. This Research Track aims at promoting cutting-edge approaches in the most contemporary ICT areas.

Submission Guidelines

Depending on the stage of your research, you can submit either a short paper (3-5 pages) or a full paper (8-15 pages). Papers should be set out in accordance with Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format for Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes. Templates for MS Word and LaTeX as well as further instruction for authors are available at Springer's website.


Please ensure that you follow the LNCS template consistently in order to avoid delays. MS Word users can download directly the template here. Use "typeinst.doc" as a template for your paper and use the already defined styles instead of formatting the text manually. The use of "sv-ln20090127.dotm" is optional; it installs some adittional macros for common tasks in LNCS authoring (MS Word 2007 only).

Abstract and paper submissions will be conducted electronically through the EasyChair Conference Management System, at this link.
