Following the abstract acceptance, the submission of a full-legth paper is mandatory for final acceptance of the communication at the conference. Full lenght papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two referees.
Two kinds of full-length papers will be accepted:

Both kinds of papers should include significant new scientific data.
For both types of papers, short papers and long papers, the same templates should be used.
