<p class="MsoNormal">We solicit two categories of papers:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regular papers describing original research results, case studies, or surveys, should not exceed 16 pages (excluding bibliography of at most two pages).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tool papers that describe an operational tool and its contributions should not exceed 8 pages (including bibliography of at most one page).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Papers must be formatted according to the guidelines for Springer LNCS papers (see http://www.springer.com/lncs).

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ARTEFACT EVALUATION<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This edition of SEFM introduces an artefact evaluation (AE). An artefact contains any necessary material to support the claims made in the paper and ideally makes the results fully reproducible. Submission of an artefact is optional for
regular papers and mandatory for tool papers. The artefacts will be judged by the Artefact Evaluation Committee (AEC). Artefacts can be submitted up-to one week after the paper submission deadline.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PUBLICATION<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of the conference that will<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">be published as a volume in Springer's LNCS series. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The authors of a selected subset of accepted papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to special issues of the journal "Software and Systems Modeling" (SoSyM).<o:p></o:p></p>
