When submitting, please select the appropriate Track for your paper (i.e., WIP or Demo).

WIP papers must be, at most, 5 pages in size (including figures, tables, and references). They are expected to present early or ongoing research activities. Novel approaches and preliminary results are especially appreciated.

Demo papers must be up to 4 pages in size (including figures, tables, and references). They should explicitly state what will be demonstrated to the audience, and how the attendees will be able to interact, enjoy, and experiment.
