Accepted Contributions

This year the review process was extremely selective and many good papers could not be accepted for the final program. Altogether, we received 67 submissions (42 full papers, 20 short papers and 5 demonstrations). Out of the 42 submitted full papers, the program committee selected only 12 submissions for presentation and publication as full papers, which corresponds to an acceptance rate of less than 29% for full papers. In addition, we accepted 8 submissions as short papers, 7 submissions as posters, and 5 submissions as demonstrations.

The full proceedings are available on SpringerLink (subscription required).
