All papers accepted as full or short papers will be in the conference proceedings, to be published by Elsevier as a Procedia Computer Science series volume (which series are indexed by Scopus and ISI Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index) and will be available on Sciverse ScienceDirect. Poster papers and industry papers will be published in a conference book of abstracts, industry and poster papers (with ISBN).

Like in previous editions, accepted full and short papers will be submitted for indexation in major indexes such as Thomson ISI and SCOPUS.
