Important notes

• ISoF does NOT accept abstract-only submissions or publications. Submitted full papers undergo a double-blind review process. If a full paper is accepted for presentation at the conference, it will also appear as a full paper in the proceedings.
• ISoF does EXPLICITLY NOT claim copyright of papers which appear in the proceedings. The copyright of each paper remains with the author(s).
• At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the conference and physically present the paper. If your paper is accepted and we do not receive it by the final deadline of Monday, April 11, 2016 it will not appear in the proceedings. To prevent no-shows on the program, at least one author of each accepted paper needs to register and pay the registration fee by Monday, May 2, 2016. Otherwise, the paper will not remain on the program and will be removed from the proceedings.
