========================
Submission instructions:
========================
Authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts reporting original unpublished research on the topics related to the symposium. Simultaneous submission to other conferences or workshops with published proceedings is not allowed. It is required that each accepted paper be presented at the conference by one of its authors.
Submissions must be in the form of a single pdf file prepared using the LNCS latex templates and style files. Springer’s proceedings LaTeX templates are also available on Overleaf. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers and requires them to draw the attention of the contributing conference paper authors to the Code of Conduct.
Each submission should consist of the central part of the paper, not exceeding 12 pages (including the title page and excluding the references), plus an optional clearly marked appendix (to be read at the discretion of the program committee). Any figure pertaining to the central part of the paper should be included therein (within the 12-page limit). The first page must indicate whether the article is eligible for the best student paper award.

Papers are to be submitted electronically through EasyChair at the link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwoca2024
