1. Papers being submitted both to JURISIN2012 and JURIX2012 must note
this on the title page.
2. A paper to be presented at JURISIN2012 must be withdrawn from
JURIX2012 and vice versa according to the choice by the authors.
3. If the authors do not follow this double submission policy, the paper
by the authors will not be included in the proceedings of JURISIN 2012.
Papers should be written in English, formatted according to the
Springer Verlag LNCS style in a pdf form, which can be obtained from
http://www.springeronline.com, and not exceed 14 pages including
figures, references, etc.

designated at the workshop page, and then convert it into a pdf form
and submit it at the paper submission page.
If a paper is accepted, at least one author of the paper must register
the workshop and present it.
**** Proceedings ****
A printed volume of the proceedings with ISBN will be available at the
workshop.

post-proceedings as a volume of LNAI. If it is the case, the authors
of papers presented at the workshop will be asked to extend their
contributions, possibly incorporating the results of the workshop
discussion, to be included in the workshop post-proceedings, after
another round of refereeing.
