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 so the paper
should be intelligible without them. Submissions are to be made to 
the submission web site at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dbsec2017. 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 6, 2017 (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 2017 cannot be under review for any other
conference or journal during the time it is being considered for DBSec 2017.
Furthermore, after you submit to DBSec 2017, 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 2017, 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.
