Submission Guidelines

We welcome the following types of submission:

• Research papers with a maximum length of 8 pages (with no restriction on bibliography or appendices, which the reviewers are not required to read). Submitted research papers are reviewed based on their novelty, clarity, and technical soundness. They must not be submitted for publication elsewhere, and if accepted, they will appear in the PLACES proceedings.
