Accepted Papers

We are quite proud to announce that this year both the quality and number of submissions was extremely high.

As a consequence, the TPC chairs and general chairs worked very hard to compile a program, consisting of outstanding papers, based on a very strict selection of 23 accepted papers out of 62 submitted (for regular main track ; acceptance rate: 37%).

Below is the list of accepted paper (sorted by type, i.e full / short papers, and by submission number)
