    Abstract submission

    All participants interested in presenting a contribution are asked to submit the source code of a short LaTeX abstract (1 to 2 pages in PDF-format) using the provided LaTeX template.

    Submission of the abstract should be done no later than April 15, 2014 using the EasyChair conference system

    All the abstracts submitted are considered by the scientific committee, and the authors will receive an acceptance notification no later than June 11, 2014.

    The accepted abstracts will be published in electronic form at the web-site of SCAN2014 and in a printed book of abstracts. At least one author of an accepted abstract must have paid the registration fee to be published in the book of abstracts.
