Paper Submission
Paper submission must be in English. All papers will be double-blind reviewed
by the Program Committee based on technical quality, relevance to DASFAA,
originality, significance, and clarity. All paper submissions will be handled
electronically. Any submitted paper violating the length, file type, or
formatting requirements will be rejected without review.
Each submitted paper should include an abstract up to 200 words and be no
longer than 16 pages (including references, appendices, etc.) in LNCS (Lecture
Notes in Computer Science) format. We encourage authors to cite related work
comprehensively. When citing conference papers, please also consider citing
their extended journal versions if applicable. All papers must be submitted
electronically through the paper submission system in PDF only.
The submitted papers must not be previously published anywhere and must not be
under consideration by any other conference or journal during the DASFAA review
process. If the paper was accepted, at least one author will complete the
regular registration and attend the conference to present the paper. For
no-show authors, their papers will not be included in the proceedings. Accepted
papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
Double-Blind Review
DASFAA 2021 will employ a double-blind reviewing process, i.e., the PC members
and referees who review the paper will not know the identity of the authors. To
ensure the anonymity of authorship, authors must prepare their manuscript as
follows:
- Author's names and affiliations must not appear on the title page or
elsewhere in the paper.
- Funding sources must not be acknowledged on the title page or elsewhere in
the paper.
- Research group members, or other colleagues or collaborators, must not be
acknowledged anywhere in the paper.
- Source file naming must also be done with care, to avoid identifying the
author's names in the paper's associated metadata. For example, if your name is
Jane Smith and you submit a PDF file generated from a .dvi file called
Jane-Smith.dvi, your authorship could be inferred by looking into the PDF file.
Submissions must have all details identifying the author(s) removed from the
original manuscript (including the supplementary files, if any), and the
author(s) should refer to their prior work in the third person and include all
relevant citations.
It is the responsibility of authors to do their very best to preserve
anonymity. Papers that do not follow the guidelines here, or otherwise
potentially reveal the identity of the authors, are subject to immediate
rejection. Because of the double-blind review policy, the submission of an
extended version of a short paper that has published elsewhere is strongly
discouraged in DASFAA 2021. Because of the double-blind review process,
non-anonymous papers that have been issued as technical reports (e.g., arXiv or
similar) cannot be considered for DASFAA 2021.
