ICTERI 2013 Post-Proceedings

This page provides the instructions on how to prepare, structure, format, and submit your revised and estended paper for the ICTERI 2013 post-proceedings.

Preparing your Paper

Please be reminded that you have to revise and extend your ICTERI 2013 paper which has been published in the CEUR-WS proceedings. The papers which were not revised or extended substantially enough will be rejected at review.

The page limits for the post proceedings are:

• Full (regular) paper - 22 - 24 LNCS pages

Please mind that short papers are not accepted for the post-proceedings. If you published a short paper in the CEUR-WS proceedings please make your post-proceeding submission mature enough to be regarded as a regular paper.
