SUBMISSIONS INSTRUCTIONS
------------------------

SEBD 2022 invites submissions of research, industry, and application contributions as well as software demonstrations. Regular papers presenting original work are solicited. Moreover, discussion papers containing descriptions of results already published are also welcomed.

There are three submission formats:

- Regular papers (up to 12 pages): original research works;
- Discussion papers (up to 8 pages): results and ideas of interest to the SEBD audience, including extended abstract of recent own publications, position papers, system and application descriptions, and presentations of preliminary results;
- Doctoral Consortium papers (between 5 and 6 pages including references): the papers should be singly authored by a current PhD student or PhD student who submitted the thesis before December 2021; if accepted it will be presented at the Doctoral Consortium session.

Papers must be written in English. Selection will be based on originality, clarity, and technical quality.

SEBD 2022 submissions must be in electronic form in PDF format. Papers can be formatted in LaTeX using the Lecture Notes in Computer Science style (Springer LNCS style), but we highly suggest directly using the new CEUR-ART 1-column style (https://sebd2022.isti.cnr.it/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/CEURART_SEBD2022.zip), which is the style requested for the camera-ready preparation. Papers must be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system at the following link:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sebd2022

All accepted works will be included in the proceedings, with discussion papers clearly marked as such. Proceedings will be published on WS-CEUR.org and indexed in Scopus, DBLP, and Google Scholar.

After acceptance, authors are required to re-submit the final PDF. No different format is allowed. All accepted papers are expected to be presented at the conference and at least one author is required to register to the conference.


DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM
-------------------

SEBD 2022 will host a session completely devoted to the next generation of researchers: PhD students. They can submit papers describing their research which will be presented and discussed during an oral session. There the students will get feedback and suggestions from senior researchers of the SEBD community and have the chance to start new collaborations. For more details please visit this link:
