Presentation of a work at ICSMA 15 is a precondition for publishing a paper in the proceedings. Due to space limitations in the proceedings, only one contributed paper per author registered in the conference can be published. Copyright in the work will be assigned to IOP Publishing except insofar as retained by individual authors or their employers under written agreement with IOP. All papers will be reviewed and must meet IOP technical standards as well as length (please use the template /style files on this page) and format restrictions. Recommended length for keynote and regular papers is 8 and 4 pages at maximum, respectively.
The number of submitted manuscripts will enforce a selection of the papers to be published. The selection will be made on the basis of originality, quality, and relevance in the specific topics. Authors are thereby asked to submit original papers of high standard not later than August 19, 2009.
