SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Contributions to the conference have to be submitted via Easychair (www.easychair.org), the name of the event there is IC2S2. Each submission consists of an extended abstract of max 2 pages (A4). Please give a sufficiently detailed description of your work, otherwise it will be difficult for the PC to assess its relevance. Each extended abstract will be reviewed by two PC members. Abstracts can be submitted from September the 15th till November 15th, 2014. We will do out best to have mostly oral presentations of the selected contributions, both plenary
and in parallel sessions. However, since we cannot estimate the number of submissions, in case they turn out to be more than expected, we do not exclude having a poster session.
