Given the large number of submissions, the program is a very dense program, so we kindly ask all authors to respect the time-frame assigned to your presentation, namely 15 minutes for papers and 9 minutes for oral communications.
DLT 2024 is an in-person workshop: it is mandatory for an accepted contribution that at least one of the authors presents the results in person during the workshop according to the program timetable.
