Table of Contents

1. The submission deadlines (and other dates such as notification and camera ready) are rather flexible in order to account for possibly limited author access to the academic/industrial premises where the research work is taking place. 2. The event is currently planed to happen on-site.

   During the conference, authors will be able to present their work via pre-recorded videos and/or conference calls (in case they opt to avoid travel).

3. Selection of awarded papers and invitations for expanded versions for IARIA journals are not affected by the presentation method (pre recorded or in person) We wish you health and safety during these times.
