SUBMISSION
LANET 2027 is an abstract-only conference: there is no full-paper track. All contributions are submitted as extended abstracts and reviewed by the
programme committee.
– Length: maximum 2 pages, including references
– Figures: every abstract must include at least one image
– Language: English (preferred), Spanish or Portuguese; accepted work is presented in the language it was submitted in
– Format: PDF
Submissions undergo blind peer review, evaluated on originality, technical quality, clarity and relevance. Accepted contributions are allocated an oral, poster or lightning presentation by the programme committee, and all appear in the conference book of abstracts. Authors of accepted abstracts are expected
to register and present their work in person.
Submission system: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/LANET2027/
