Call for papers is now closed!

Themes for sessions that fit any of these tracks are welcome, but we are constantly looking for new ideas to promote and review in the community. Novelty and applicability are important factors in the choice of sessions for the conference. LESS is a conference at the intersection of different ideas and trends.

We encourage a range of submissions including research papers, experience reports, workshops, tutorials, doctoral consortium, panels, posters and demonstrations.  This is a conference at the cross roads of different active communities in the world of business and software.
