Call For Papers

The first call for papers is available for download here.

Important Dates

Submission of Abstract  4 November 2013 EXTENDED
Notification of Acceptance  15 December 2013
Submission of Final Paper 17 January 2014

Format of the Conference

The conference combines the following formats:

• Plenary sessions with invited keynote papers
• Oral sessions, both convened and contributed
• Posters
• Workshops, short courses
• Exhibition

The number of convened sessions will be balanced to keep the conference open for interesting submissions. Posters will be presented in a large central area, near the exhibition, to attract the attention of participants and to foster fruitful technical discussions.

APPLICATION TRACKS

EuCAP 2014 will feature a session track focussing on applications.  This will increase interaction between academia and industry. During abstract submission authors will be invited to allocate their contributions to one or more applications, enabling the formation of applications tracks in the final program. Contributions not targeting a particular application will be allocated to regular sessions all along the week.
