Submission Instructions
SEBD 2011 invites submissions of research, industry and application contributions as well as software demonstrations. Research papers, describing original ideas on the fundamental aspects of all forms of database systems and technology, are solicited. Moreover, extended abstract containing descriptions of on-going projects or presenting results already published are also welcome. Research papers presenting original works should be at most 12 pages long whereas extended abstract should be at most 8 pages long. Papers can be written in English or Italian.
SEBD 2011 submissions must be in electronic form in Portable Document Format (PDF) format. Papers must be formatted using the Lecture Notes in Computer Science style available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Papers must be submitted electronically, through the EasyChair conference site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sedb20....
Accepted papers and extended abstracts will be published in the on-line proceedings of the symposium. At SEBD 2011 we plan to introduce a new Poster Track. Regardless of their original form (full paper or extended abstract), some of the submissions might be accepted as a poster paper. The main difference between regular and poster papers will be in the way they will be presented at the conference. While regular papers will be assigned individual time-slots in the conference program, poster papers will be presented during dedicated sessions.
