PAPER SUBMISSION
The program committee seeks high-quality submissions describing
original work, written in English, in the areas of data protection,
privacy, and applications security. Selection criteria include
accuracy and originality of ideas, clarity and significance of
results, and quality of presentation.

The page limit in Springer LNCS style is 16 pages, including the
bibliography and well-marked appendices. PC members are not required
to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible
without them.

Submissions (in pdf format only) are to be made to the submission web
site at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dbsec2016

Submissions not meeting the above guidelines risk rejection without
consideration of their merits.

A paper submitted to DBSec 2016 cannot be under review for any other
conference or journal during the time it is being considered for DBSec
2016. Furthermore, after you submit to DBSec 2016, 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 2016, 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.

At least one of the authors of each accepted paper is required to
register for the conference and must guarantee that the paper will be
presented.
