following address:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=setn2016

Submission of NECTAR papers is possible via email to the Program Committee
Chairs until 28/2/2016 (note that the deadline for original papers does not
apply to NECTAR ones). The papers that are eligible for presentation in the
NECTAR session are those that were presented (or accepted for presentation)
in distinguished AI conferences from 1/1/2014 until the deadline for NECTAR
paper submission. In the email please include details concerning the
conference where the paper was originally presented.

The proceedings of the conference (except for the NECTAR session) will be
published by ACM Digital Library within its International Conference
Proceedings Series. Moreover, extended versions of selected best papers
will be considered for possible publication in a special issue of an AI
Journal.

The submitted papers will be peer-reviewed on the basis of technical
quality, relevance to AI, originality, significance, and clarity. Note that
submitted papers (except for NECTAR papers) should have neither been
published nor submitted for publication elsewhere.

In order to prepare their manuscripts, authors should follow the ACM SIG
Proceedings guidelines, available at:
http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html/

Note that SETN 2016 accepts original submissions of two types: a) full
papers (5-10 pages) and b) short papers (2-4 pages). All accepted papers
will be included in the conference proceedings.

Submitting a paper to the conference means that in case of acceptance, at
least one author is required to fully register for the conference in order
for the paper to be included in the proceedings. Moreover, it is expected
that at least one author will attend the conference to present the paper.
