Submission policy

The review process is single blind as to fit with ICPR. We appreciate 
that because of the proximity of the ICPR deadline, authors will have a 
limited time to undertake the additional work to develop new papers for 
submission SSPR. We are happy to consider papers that report work that 
is partially overlapped with an ICPR submission provided that:

a) The SSPR papers contain at least 50% of additional material that is 
substantially different from the ICPR (or previously submitted) paper. 
This might include a) additional theory, proofs etc, b) additional 
experimentation or detailed comparison, c) deeper analysis. It does not 
include ephemeral or insubstantial material, such as additional 
literature review, discussion or bibliography.

b) The authors declare the existence of a related ICPR paper ID and 
title in the online submission system, and briefly summarize the 
differences in the comments box on submission.

If we detect substantially similar work that does not follow these 
guidelines, we will automatically reject it.


Submission

PDF in LNCS style 9 pages. Final camera-ready due of the accepted papers 
is 3rd September(midnight GMT). If the final paper would not be uploaded 
until 3rd September(midnight of GMT), the paper would not be contained 
in the final workshop proceedings volume from Springer-Verlag.
