Submission Guidelines
All papers will be reviewed by an international program committee with appropriate expertise. LoCA 2009 aims to be selective and the committee will favor a technically robust program. The ideal LoCA submission should provide an insightful survey of existing work, introduce a radically new concept, or present concrete, significant, transferable research based on the implementation and evaluation of a working system.
All accepted papers will be contained in the symposium proceedings which will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer. Therefore submissions must conform to the LNCS LaTeX stylesheets. We solicit papers of up to 18 pages in LNCS style but explicitly welcome shorter papers for presentation of pointed results. All paper submissions will be treated as full papers but it is important that their length is appropriate for their content.
Accepted papers will be presented by their authors at the LoCA Symposium in the Tokyo. Submit papers as Adobe PDF via EDAS at http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=6603. Preparation of the camera-ready version of accepted papers may be shepherded by the program committee.
