Instruction for authors 

ISC’06 welcomes original papers from academic, government, and industry contributors dealing with the above or related issues. Papers, which describe ongoing research or provide an excellent surveying work, are welcome too. 
Accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html). At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register with the Conference and present the paper. For authors presenting multiple papers, one normal registration is valid for up to two papers.
To submit a paper, authors are kindly asked to visit the Conference web site. All submissions will be subjected to thorough blind review by at least three reviewers. All submitted papers should be anonymous with no author(s) names, affiliations, acknowledgements, nor obvious references. Each paper should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords, following the template indicated by Springer http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
The papers will be in .pdf format, at most 12 pages long excluding bibliography and well-marked appendices, and at most 16 pages long in total, using at least 11-point fonts with reasonable margins. As the reader should not be required to read any appendices, the paper should be intelligible even without them.
Following the advice of the ISC Steering Committee to provide students with more opportunities for publication, a number of student papers will be accepted, in addition to the regular papers. Student authors should explicitly indicate their status in the submission. The length of the final version of papers accepted in this special category is limited to six (6) pages in LNCS format. Moreover, three student papers will be nominated as the "best student papers". A prize of 300 euros accompanies this nomination. The best student papers will be announced and the prizes will be awarded during the Conference.
