PAPER SUBMISSIONS DETAILS:

Authors are invited to electronically submit original research contributions or experience reports in English.

·         The submitted manuscript should closely reflect the final paper as it will appear in the Proceedings.

·         Papers should not exceed 15 pages in LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html)

·         Any submission that exceeds length limits or deviates from formatting requirements may be rejected without review.

For paper registration and electronic submission see http://www.dexa.org starting in January 2010.

Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.

Duplicate submissions are not allowed. Authors are expected to agree to the following terms: "I understand that the paper being submitted must not overlap substantially with any other paper that I am a co-author of and that is currently submitted elsewhere. Furthermore, previously published papers with any overlap are cited prominently in this submission."

Duplicate submissions will be rejected. Questions about this policy or how it applies to your work should be directed to the PC-chairs.

ACCEPTED PAPERS:

All accepted conference papers will be published in "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" (LNCS) by Springer Verlag. Accepted papers will be of two sizes: regular (15-page papers) and short (up to 8 pages). The former will tend to be descriptions of complete technical work, while the latter will tend to be descriptions of interesting, innovative ideas, which nevertheless require more work to mature.  Authors of accepted papers must sign a Springer copyright release form.
