The three-day conference will give opportunity for paper presentations and discussions. Potential contributors should submit an extended abstract of approximately 5 - 10 pages in PDF format through

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=loft2018

Note that the 10-page limit (excluding references and appendix) is a HARD CONSTRAINT: submissions exceeding 10 pages will NOT be considered.

The deadline for submission is MARCH 1, 2018, and authors will be notified of acceptance decisions by April 15, 2018.

Papers that have appeared in print, or are known to appear in print, before the conference, should not be submitted for presentation at LOFT.

PUBLICATION OF CONTRIBUTED PAPERSWe anticipate that, as in the past, a selection of papers presented at LOFT13 will be published in one or two special issues of journals.
