The paper must be anonymous, with no obvious references. The author names should be given separately in the submission system, and should not appear in the paper. It should be followed by a succinct statement appropriate for a non-specialist reader, specifying the subject addressed its background, the main results, and their significance. Technical details directed to the specialist should then follow. If accepted, one of the authors is expected to present the paper at the workshop. Submissions not meeting the guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits!
