Original manuscripts should be submitted in English in pdf format to the EasyChair submission system (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=socinfo2015). They should be formatted and no more than 14 pages according to Springer LNCS paper formatting guidelines (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0).
Submissions are single-blind (names of the authors visible). As in the previous years, the accepted papers will appear in Springer's Lecture Note Series in Computer Science.While we also allow accepted papers to be presented without publication in the conference proceedings, if the authors choose to do so.
To ensure a thorough and fair review process, this year's conference will rely on a two-tier review process and will enforce strict review guidelines to provide even higher-quality feedback to authors.
