Submission Guidelines

The DISPA workshop follows the VLDB formatting guideline and the submission guideline. The conference management tool for the submission of papers is accessible at: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/DISPA2020/.

Unlike the VLDB submission guideline, the paper length for a paper is up to 6 pages, excluding references. The accepted paper may have up to four extra pages if authors want, excluding reference. Here is a template of latex and word for the camera-ready.

At least one author of every accepted paper is expected to attend the workshop and give an oral presentation about the paper.
