The extended abstract should be prepared in PDF format, and it should be submitted electronically on the Web.

Authors will be advised regarding acceptance of the extended abstract by August 31, 2014. The authors of accepted papers are requested to submit the manuscripts for the proceedings following the instructions available in the proceeding page. The manuscripts should be prepared in PDF format and submitted electronically on the Web by October 18, 2014. The maximum length of each manuscript including both text and illustrations will be ten pages (about 7500 words). In order to assure high-quality of the proceedings, all manuscripts will be reviewed and only accepted ones will be included in it.

New Policy on Copyright of SSS Proceedings:

The organizing committee of SSS is now constructing the web browsing system of SSS Proceedings with the aid of J-Stage (Japan Science and Technology Information Aggregator, Electronic). With the author's agreement, the papers in Proceedings will be registerd to DOI (Digital Object Identifier) system and opened to the public on the web.

According to this system, the papers in Proceedings will be officially published works with the copyright, and we need Copyright Transfer from all of the autors who submit their papers. Also, each paper should be the original work of the author(s) and not yet published in any media with the copyright.

Award:

The young researchers who recognized excellent presentation at this symposium will be presented to SSS Young Author Prize or ISCIE award. For SSS Young Author Prize, the presenter must be less than 35 years of age at the time of symposium. For ISCIE award, the presenter must be a member of ISCIE and must be less than 30 years of age if the affiliation of the presenter is an academic or 35 years of age if the affiliation of the presenter is not an academic, at the time of symposium.
