Authors should indicate whether their paper is a “Position paper” to differentiate them from regular ones (“Position paper” should be mentioned in the title).
Authors must submit their papers by September 15, 2020, using the EasyChair web site (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fps2020) and following the requirements stated there. All papers will be refereed. The submitted contribution should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS style (TeX, Word).
