PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers should be at most 16 pages including the bibliography
and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font and reasonable margins
on letter-size paper), and should be in single-column format.
Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so the
paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions are to be made
to the submission web site at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dbsec2010. Only pdf files
will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk
rejection without consideration of their merits. Papers must be
received by the deadline of February 5, 2010 (midnight 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 series. The
camera-ready version of the accepted papers must follow Springer
guidelines (a Latex source file will be required).
A paper submitted to DBSec 2010 cannot be under review for any other
conference or journal during the time it is being considered for
DBSec 2010. Furthermore, after you submit to DBSec 2010, 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 2010, 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.


PANEL PROPOSALS
Proposals for panels should be sent to dbsec2010@unimi.it. Proposals
should include a one-page description of the subject matter, the name
and address (including e-mail address) of the organizer, and a list of
