Abstract submission
The program committee is soliciting papers describing original work (work under review elsewhere can be submitted provided overlap with simultaneously submitted papers is clearly documented). Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a one-page abstract in pdf format (including names, affiliations and email addresses of the authors), by sending an e-mail to sitb2016@uclouvain.be by March 24 April 8, 2016 (extended deadline) at the latest.
Each accepted paper will lead either to an oral presentation with discussion or to a poster presentation. The symposium will have on-line proceedings with a separate ISBN, and will feature a Best Student Paper award and a Best Student Presentation award.
Early submissions (first three abstracts) will be rewarded.

After receiving an email confirming your abstract is accepted for oral or poster presentation, you need to register (this can be performed using the online form) and submit a full paper according to the full paper guidelines (see also this template if you use LaTeX). Please read those instructions carefully. A maximum of eight single-column A4 pages is allowed. Your paper will be submitted as a single PDF file, named after your submission number (see confirmation email), sent by e-mail to sitb2016@uclouvain.be. The deadline for the full paper submission is May 9, 2016.Grants
A limited number of grants will be made available to MSc students who have an accepted paper at the symposium. A grant consists of the symposium registration fee, and at most 70 euro per night for accommodation for one or two nights (depending on distance). No travel costs will be reimbursed.
