Please upload the final version directly via EasyChair. Log in, select SIMLA, and click "Update Submission".

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all required materials are submitted in a complete and timely manner. Detailed instructions for final submission (including deadlines and submission portals) will be communicated to the authors of accepted papers.

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other venue with formally published proceedings. Information about submissions may be shared with program chairs of other conferences for that purpose. Submissions must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgement or obvious references. Each submission must begin with a title, short abstract, and a list of keywords. The introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. All submissions must follow the original Springer LNCS format with a page limit of 20 pages (incl. references). Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference and must make a full version of their paper available online. Submissions not meeting the submission guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. It is strongly encouraged that submissions be processed in LaTeX.

Final Version Preparation (Camera-Ready)

Authors of accepted papers must prepare and submit a final (camera-ready) version according to the following requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in exclusion from the workshop proceedings.

• Author Information: The final version must include the full author list, affiliations, and acknowledgements.
• Springer LNCS Template: The paper must strictly follow the official Springer LNCS format . The final version must not exceed 20 pages, including references.
• Consent-to-Publish Form: At least one author of each accepted paper must complete and sign the Springer Consent-to-Publish form . The completed form must be submitted together with the final version.

Conflict of Interest:

It is the full responsibility of all authors of a paper to identify all their potential conflict-of-interest PC members, and to e-mail the names of these PC members to the PC chairs until the submission deadline. Papers with incorrect or incomplete conflict of interest information as of the submission closing time are subject to immediate rejection. We share the same definition of conflicts of Interest with ACNS'25. A paper author has a conflict of interest with a PC member if and only if one or more of the following conditions holds:

1. The PC member shares an institutional affiliation with an author at the time of submission;
2. The PC member was the advisor or advisee of an author at any time in the past;
3. The PC member has collaborated or published with an author in the prior two years;
4. The PC member is serving as the sponsor or administrator of a grant that funds the research of an author;
5. The PC member is a close personal friend or family member of an author.
