SUBMISSION

LANET 2027 is an abstract-only conference: there is no full-paper track. All

contributions are submitted as extended abstracts and reviewed by the

programme committee.

- Figures: every abstract must include at least one image

- Language: English (preferred), Spanish or Portuguese; accepted work is

  presented in the language it was submitted in

- Format: PDF

Submissions undergo blind peer review, evaluated on originality, technical

quality, clarity and relevance. Accepted contributions are allocated an oral,

poster or lightning presentation by the programme committee, and all appear in

the conference book of abstracts. Authors of accepted abstracts are expected

to register and present their work in person.
