Based on these reviews authors will receive a notification with reviewers comments, advises, and requirements and papers that are not rejected will be invited to be resubmitted in an improved form together with change log and answrers to the reviewers. * in the second round, PC chairs in collaboration with the reviewers where needed and possible, will evaluate the improved paper version and notifiy authors about final decision on acceptance/rejection. *Best Paper Award* To encourage the submission of high-quality ideas, contributions, and papers, the IWST organizing committee is very proud to announce a Award competition in the categories of *best idea*, *best contribution to the community* and *best paper for this edition of IWST*.
