Papers must be written and presented in English. Paper length should not
exceed 10 A4 pages, should be anonymous and formatted according to the EG
publication style. Authors must include a declaration stating that the
main contribution claimed in their paper has not previously appeared in,
and is not currently submitted to, any other conference or journal.

To be considered for review, all papers must be submitted electronically
through the SCA submission web site. Supplementary
material such as videos may also be submitted electronically and will be
made available to reviewers.

All papers will be reviewed carefully by the International Program
Committee members. Given the limited time between submission and final
version, papers will be evaluated as submitted.

Authors of accepted papers will be responsible for preparing a final
camera-ready electronic version of their paper. In addition to the printed
proceedings, a DVD-ROM will be published with supplemental materials. If
an author submits supplemental materials for review with their paper, that
material (or a revised version) must also be provided by the authors for
inclusion on the DVD-ROM.

Authors of some rejected papers with high potential will be invited to
submit their work to the combined demos and poster sessions. Submissions
directly targeting the Poster & Demo session are also accepted (see
calendar).

Looking forward to seeing you in Vienna!
