based on originality, significance, quality, and clarity. The
proceedings of the symposium will be published by Springer-Verlag in
the prestigious Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Papers should not exceed 10 pages (including all references, tables,
and figures). Initial submissions of papers up to 12 pages are allowed
and will be considered for review, but once accepted, the length must
be reduced to at most 10 pages. (An additional fee will be charged for

One of the authors should register to the system by sending the
abstract of the paper. The paper will be assigned a paper id. The
author should then log on using the paper id and his/her password, and
upload the paper in order to complete the submission process.  For an
