If requested by the authors on the cover page, a regular submission th= at is not selected for a regular presentation will also be considered for t= he brief announcement format. This will not affect consideration of the pap= er for a regular presentation. Publication Regular papers and brief announcements will be included in the conference p= roceedings. Conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNC= S conference series. Extended and revised versions of selected papers will be considered for a s= pecial issue of the journal Information and Computation. Paper Awards Prizes will be given to the best paper and best student paper. A paper is e= ligible for the best student paper if at least one of its authors is a full= -time student at submission time.
