As a novelty, this year we will also publish poster papers (up to 4 pages) in the conference proceedings. This makes CW'2014 an excellent forum for Ph.D./Master/Graduate students to show their most recent activity. This is also a good oportunity for research groups to disseminate their work-in-progress. Poster papers will also have the opportunity to make a brief oral presentation (fast-foward format) in addition to the classical poster session.
