Manuscript Guidelines and Submission

Submitted manuscripts must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Manuscripts are submitted in PDF format and may not exceed ten single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages, including figures, tables, and references. Please refer to https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html for templates and complete formatting instructions.

Manuscripts are submitted via the Easychair Conference Management System: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bdcat2020

All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, rigour in analysis, quality of results, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees.

The conference proceedings will be published by the ACM and made available online via the ACM Digital Library and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

Awards and Special Issues

A selection commission chaired by the BDCAT2020 technical programme committee will select and acknowledge the best paper and the best student paper to receive an award during the conference.

Authors of highly rated papers from BDCAT2020 will be invited to submit an extended version to special issues of prestigious journals. Details will be announced soon.
