ONLINE TRACK

eLEOT 2016 welcomes submissions from presenters who will not be able to attend the conference in person. To be able to participate through this track you will be required to meet the date, topic and publication requirements for the main conference. Upon acceptance of your submission, you will be required to submit a video presentation as well as a PowerPoint presentation to distribute to all who are present. Your video will be shown during the main conference. If you wish to present your work directly to the audience, you can call in through Skype and present that way. Online conference participants will be able to view all the presentations through the "Uniecampus Live Stream" system, offered by Università degli Studi eCampus.
Participation to this track is limited to 20 accepted papers.

 

 

STUDENT TRACK

We also invite papers for a special student (Masters or PhD) track that will provide a venue for students to present their work and receive feedback from senior members of the research community.  Student papers may include thesis plans, proposed research, as well as partial or complete research results already obtained.  Papers should clearly state the stage at which the candidate is at in their PhD or Master (i.e. number of years of study completed), and should follow the regular conference format. Each paper will be reviewed by selected members of the program committee. Please select the appropriate track when submitting your work at https://confy.eai.eu/. The papers of the Student, which should be published need to be register under the Full Fee Registration. 

 

DEMO SESSION

eLEOT 2016 will feature a Demo Session dedicated to showcasing the work featured in the presentations. Any author whose work will be accepted for presentation at eLEOT 2016 will be able to set up a demonstration of their work.

You will be contacted at the time of acceptance regarding your interest in exhibiting your work during the Demo Session. All conference participants are invited to attend.
