Submissions to tracks A to D must not exceed 15 pages and will be reviewed and evaluated with respect to relevance, clarity, quality, originality, and impact. Shorter papers, e.g., for system descriptions, are welcome. Authors will have an opportunity to respond to their papers' reviews before the programme committee makes a decision.

Submissions to the Systems & Projects track must not exceed four pages. The accepted abstracts will be presented at CICM in a fast presentation session, followed by an open demo/poster session. System papers must be accompanied by a system demonstration, and project papers must be accompanied by a poster presentation. The four pages of the abstract should be new material, accompanied by links to demos/downloads/project-pages and [existing] system descriptions. Availability of such accompanying material will be a strong prerequisite for acceptance.

Accepted conference submissions from all tracks will be published as a volume in the series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) by Springer. In addition to these formal proceedings, authors are permitted and encouraged to publish the final versions of their papers on arXiv.org. The final version of accepted conference submissions must not exceed 16 pages, and of Systems & Projects papers five pages.

Work-in-progress submissions are intended to provide a forum for the presentation of original work that is not (yet) in a suitable form for submission as a full or system description paper. This includes work in progress and emerging trends. Their size is not limited, but we recommend 5 - 10 pages.

The programme committee may offer authors of rejected formal submissions to publish their contributions as work-in-progress papers instead. Depending on the number of work-in-progress papers accepted, they will be presented at the conference either as short talks or as posters. The work-in-progress proceedings will be published as a technical report.

All papers should be prepared in LaTeX and formatted according to the requirements of Springer's LNCS series (the corresponding style files can be downloaded from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). By submitting a paper the authors agree that if it is accepted at least one of the authors will attend the conference to present it.

Electronic submission is done through easychair
