included in the conference (local) preprint. Only selected papers will
be published in the final journal publication. The final text of the
papers can be polished for publication after the conference. The final
journal papers will be published by an international publisher (IOS
Press, Amsterdam) after the conference.

The total number of participants is limited to 50. The final text of the
full and short papers can be polished as journal papers for publication
after the conference. Each of the position papers are proposed to
improve to take into account the comments in the conference (if any) and
the statement of the reviewers. Programme committee has right to
withdraw the paper from the final journal publication, if the proposed
improvements are not implemented or if the paper is not technically
prepared according to the formatting rules.
