How to handle invited talks?

For the sake of the dissemination of science, we recommend that conference organisers encourage invited speakers to provide full write-ups for their invited talks to be published as articles (labelled as "Invited Paper") in the proceedings of the conference. In case invited speakers are only willing to provide an (extended) abstract of their invited talks, LIPIcs recommends that those be also published as short papers, explicitly labelled as "Abstract of Invited Talk" in the PDF and metadata to avoid confusion with contributed articles. All papers related to the invited talks will be included in the proceedings, along with the contributed articles, and will attract the APC. This policy ensures that, independent of their lengths, the contributions accompanying invited talks can be easily referenced and also have full metadata including a DOI.
(This is a recommendation of the LIPIcs editorial board.)
