available, moreover anybody is free to add comments). The committee will
decide whether the proposal is selected as a standard oral presentation or
a poster presentation. In case of rejection by the OGRS2016 editorial
committee, the manuscript will be removed from the OGRS2016 collection, but
not from the PeerJ preprint server.

*Special issue in PeerJ Computer Science*

The best short papers will be selected by the Scientific Committee, and the
authors will be asked to submit a full paper to the PeerJ Computer Science
journal <https://peerj.com/computer-science/> (see author guidelines
hereunder). The manuscripts will go through the usual PeerJ editorial
process and be accepted or rejected subject to the journal editorial
standards. Inclusion in the OGRS2016 symposium proceedings is no guarantee
that the article will be accepted. PeerJ gives the* first decisions back to
authors in a median of 22 days* and, when accepted, each single manuscript
will be published online immediately.
Thanks
