The time slots for presentations are 45 minutes, including at least 10 minutes for discussion.

Submission is made through the EasyChair website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vcic2015

In order to access the submission page, the creation of an EasyChair account will be required.

We ask authors to upload their extended abstract as a “Paper” in pdf format. As EasyChair also requests an “Abstract”, please simply repeat the title of your submission in the respective field.
