Submission Guidelines

All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled electronically. All papers to the EDBT'2012 Research, Demo, and Industry tracks should be submitted in electronic format using the Conference Management Tool. The submission web site is:

https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/EDBT2012/

The deadline for paper submission for all three tracks is on October 6, 2011, 5:00pm Pacific Daylight Time. No late papers will be accepted. In addition, an abstract submission is required for research papers one week before the paper deadline, namely, the abstract for a research paper submission is due by September 29th, 2011, 5:00pm Pacific Daylight Time. They are mandatory, that is, without an abstract submission, no full paper can be submitted.

EDBT 2012 submissions are reviewed following the single blind review process, meaning, you need not hide authors's names and affiliations.

Submission Format Instructions

Please read the formatting instructions carefully before submitting. Research, demonstration and industrial papers must all be formatted according to the conference's camera-ready format using the ACM proceedings double-column format. They must be submitted as PDF documents, and must follow the style of the document templates by ACM.

In particular, templates to prepare your submission can be found on the ACM SIG Proceedings templates website. It is not permissible to change the template's font size, margins, intercolumn spacing, or line spacing. Templates are available in Word and LaTeX (version 2e). For the LaTeX formats, you may use either the standard style or the SIG-alternate style.

Submission Length

Authors are asked to keep their submissions as succinct as possible. Reviewers will be asked if papers are overly long or the text is too repetitive. Submissions (including bibliographic references) may not exceed the maximum length as indicated below:

12 pages for research papers

Duplicate Submissions

All submissions must be original work that currently is not in submission to any other venue. A paper or demonstration submitted to EDBT cannot be under review for any other publishing forum or presentation venue (including conferences, workshops, and journals) during the time it is being considered for EDBT. Furthermore, after you submit to EDBT, you must await our response and only resubmit elsewhere if your paper is rejected (or withdrawn at your request) from EDBT. Violation of this policy will result in rejection of the submission, notification of the EDBT Executive, members of the EDBT'2012 PC, and notification of the editors or chairs of any other forums involved. This restriction applies to identical submissions as well as to submissions with a substantial overlap in scientific content and results.

File Type

Papers are to be submitted as a single PDF file, formatted for 8.5" x 11" paper, no more than 5MB in file size. Larger files will be rejected by the submission site. It is essential that submitted papers print without difficulty on a variety of printers, using Adobe Acrobat Reader. It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that their submitted PDF file will print easily on simple default configurations.

Proceedings

Proceedings will be published by ACM Press in AICPS (ACM International Conference Proceedings Series) on March 19 2012, one week before the conference. Authors are thus advised that all patent issues must have been resolved and all copyright release material have been completed well before this time to assure publication of your work.

Travel Grants for Students

Some travel awards funded by the National Science Foundation will be available for students, in particular student authors, to participate in EDBT/ICDT'2012. Details on the application process for students to apply for these funds will be made available on the EDBT/ICDT'2012 website.
