The series aims at publishing original proceedings from international conferences. With a fast turnaround time and free access on the Internet, the proceedings in this series provide an excellent means for conferences and their participants to quickly publish their articles to the widest possible audience. Proceedings are published on-line (either with limited access or in Open Access mode). Print and CD-ROMs can be provided on demand. In order to guarantee the quality of our publications we only accept articles for publication which have been peer-reviewed by at least 2 external reviewers, which is the current standard for scientific journals, proceedings and books.
