Submission Guidelines
=====================
Authors are invited to submit papers in Conference Publishing Services (CPS)
Proceedings Manuscripts style (two columns, single-spaced, including figures
and references, using 10 pt fonts, and number each page). Please consult the
Author Guidelines at the following web page:
http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting

We solicit the submission of research and application papers (8 pages)
representing original, previously unpublished work. We also explicitly encourage
submission of work in progress (currently not finished and/or evaluated) to get
feedback and discussions on new research ideas. Submitted papers will be
evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity
of exposition.

Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of
previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. ARES
and its associated workshops, like other scientific and technical conferences
and journals, prohibits these practices and may take action against authors who
have committed them. To avoid accepting papers which are not presenting original
work your paper will be plagiarism checked by PlagScan Plagarism Check. If you
don’t want your paper to be checked automatically please contact us at
chair@ectcm.net.

Contact author must provide the following information: paper title, authors'
name(s), affiliations, postal address, phone, fax, and e-mail address of the
author(s), about 200-250 word abstract, and about five keywords. Paper
registration and submission is done through the ARES Paper Management System
at the following address: https://confdriver.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/ares2015/

Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least one
of the authors will register for the ARES conference and present the paper in
the workshop. Guidelines for preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s)
will be given after the notification of acceptance.

This workshop requires anonymized submissions (double blind review), so please
make sure that submitted papers contain neither author names nor affiliations.
Papers should avoid revealing their authors identity in the text. When referring
to your previous work, do so in the third person, as though it were written by
someone else.
