CALL FOR PAPERS
We are pleased to invite the academic and business community to submit their

Technologies), to be held in Madrid, Spain, between the 20th and 23rd of June

and/or architectures, solutions and/or applications for real problems,
empirical and/or evaluation works, case studies, etc., in conformity with the
themes of this Conference.
Four types of papers can be submitted:
Full paper: Finished or consolidated R&D works, included in one of the

discussion. These papers are assigned to a 4-page limit.
Poster paper: Initial work with relevant ideas, opened to discussion. These
papers are assigned to a 2-page limit.
Company paper: Companies' papers that show practical experience, R&D,
tools, etc., focused in some topics of the conference. These articles are
abstracts with a maximum of 1 page.
Papers submitted for the Scientific Committees evaluation must not include any
