PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers should be at most 16 pages in the LNCS format excluding
bibliography and well-marked appendices, and at most 20 pages in total.
Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and therefore
the paper should be intelligible without them.

All submissions must be written in English, and only PDF files will be accepted (a Latex source file will be required for the final version of the accepted papers). The final version of the accepted papers must be in the format required for publications in the LNCS
series. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

Papers must be received by the deadline of ***March 29, 2021*** (11:59 PM American Samoa Time).

Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will
be presented at the conference. Accepted papers will be published
by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

A paper submitted to DBSec 2021 cannot be under review for any other
conference or journal during the time it is being considered for
DBSec 2021. Furthermore, after you submit to DBSec 2020, you must await our response before submitting elsewhere. If you submit your paper to another conference or journal either before/after submission of the paper to DBSec 2020, we will reject your paper without review and will notify the other conference/journal as well. This restriction applies to identical as well as to substantially similar papers.
