PROCEEDINGS
----------------------------------------------------------------------

As in the last edition, the proceedings of LAGOS 2023 will be published by Procedia Computer Science (Elsevier).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Authors are invited to submit original contributions in English with eight (8) single-column letter-size pages in the Procedia format.

The submissions are expected to be fully self-contained (including references). In the case that the 8-page format is insufficient for the whole submission, authors are encouraged to place some of the material in an optional appendix. This appendix will not be published in the proceedings and hence should not be referenced within the body of the 8-page paper, but it will be used to evaluate the submission. Please also check the Guide for authors of Procedia Computer Science.

Simultaneous submission of papers to any other conference with published proceedings, as well as the submission of previously published papers, is not allowed.

The submission process must be completed electronically through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lagos2023).

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference to be included in the program.
