SUBMISSION
We solicit full papers, position papers, and poster abstracts on topics related to the above and can include recent or ongoing research, surveys, and business/use cases. Furthermore, proposals for (panel) discussions and demonstrations are very welcome too.

* Full papers (up to 12 pages) and position papers (3 to 5 pages) will be peer-reviewed.
* Posters can be proposed by submitting an extended abstract (1 to 2 pages).
* Discussion proposals (1 to 2 pages) should contain a description of the specific topic with a list of questions and a discussion moderator. For a panel discussion, a list of agreed panel-members should be mentioned.
* Demonstration proposals (1 to 2 pages) should have a focus on research and business related to the symposium excluding undesired product presentation and advertising.

Please submit through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sss19).

All submissions should reflect the AAAI formatting instructions and will be reviewed by the program committee. Accepted and camera-ready papers will be published on the established open access proceedings site CEUR-WS (pre-prints may be published on arXiv and Zenodo).
