Paper Submission Details

The tradition of SAFECOMP is to act as a platform for bringing academic research and industrial needs together. Therefore, industrial contributions and real-world experience reports are explicitly invited.

We solicit two types of papers:

1) regular papers (up to 14 pages),

2) practical experience reports and tool reports (up to 8 pages).

Papers exceeding the page limit will be excluded from the review process. All papers will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Papers must not have been previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere.

Conference Proceedings & Journal Special Issue

All accepted papers will be published by Springer in the LNCS series (Lecture Notes on Computer Science). Submitted papers must conform to Springer LNCS author guidelines (follow the link "Author information" on www.springer.com/lncs ). In addition, extended versions of the best papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of a safety-related international journal.
