          Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work.

          Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or to another conference with proceedings.

          Papers must be clearly presented in English (British), and in Springer LNCS Format (http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines ) with Microsoft Word Proceedings Templates (zip)  (https://resource-cms.springernature.com/springer-cms/rest/v1/content/19238706/data/v1) .

          Riga, Latvia

          Riga is the capital of the Republic of Latvia. Thanks to its geographical location, Riga has wonderful trade, cultural and tourist facilities. Whilst able to offer all the benefits of a modern city, Riga has preserved its historical charm. It’s especially famous for its medieval part – Old Riga.

          Old Riga still preserves many mute witnesses of bygone times. Its old narrow streets, historical monuments, organ music at one of the oldest organ halls in Europe attract guests of our city. In 1998 Old Riga was included into the UNESCO list of world cultural heritage.
