assignment of your paper to the most suitable area chair and reviewers,
it is important that you indicate the content of the paper with a
suitable set of keywords from the provided list. Student submissions
should be clearly indicated on the submission form.

The papers must be in English and must be formatted according to the
Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence guidelines.
