We invite three types of submissions. All accepted submissions will appear in online proceedings published at www.ceur-ws.org.

• Full Paper Track: Full paper submissions should consist of original contributions (describing either basic research, interesting applications, or reviews of the field) not published in other forums. Papers should be of 6 to 12 pages in length in the Springer LNCS style. Accepted submissions will appear in online proceedings and authors will be invited for oral or poster presentation.
• NECTAR Track: NECTAR track submissions should describe significant results previously published or disseminated no earlier than 2014 at a prestigious international conference or journal. Accepted submissions will be included in online proceedings as a single page abstract, and authors will be invited to present their work orally at AICS.
• MSc Student Track: This track is designed to facilitate students enrolled in MSc programmes with a dissertation component that will have been submitted in the same academic semester before the December 2017 conference date. MSc student track submissions should consist of original contributions (describing either basic research, interesting applications, or reviews of the field) and the first author must be a registered MSc student upon whose dissertation the paper is based. Papers should be of 6 to 12 pages in length in the Springer LNCS style. Accepted submissions will appear in the online proceedings and authors will be invited for poster presentation.
