<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are accepting two alternatives for contributions: (1) Full paper submissions (6 pages) will be presented either as orals or as posters and will be published in the conference proceedings**; (2) Extended abstracts (2 pages) will be presented
either as orals or as posters (but not published in the conference proceedings). The review process is double-blind.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Deadline for both types of submissions: October 15th, 2021. <o:p>
