Submission Guidelines
Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length papers (10-15 pages) to DMBD 2021 through the Online Paper Submission Systems, respectively, by the submission deadline. The submission of a paper implies that the paper is original and unpublished and will be presented by an author if accepted. Potential special track organizers are also invited to enlist five or more papers with cohesive topics to form special tracks.
All papers should be submitted electronically via Online Paper Submission Systems. The format of the initial submissions must be standard Springer CCIS style PDF. The files of the final accepted papers should be in either Word or Latex. Enquiries on paper submissions can be addressed to the secretariat at dmbd2021@iasei.org.
A complete paper should be submitted using the Springer CCIS template, which is blind-submission review-formatted template. The length should match that intended for final publication. Note that the DMBD 2021 reviewing is double blind, in that authors do not know the names of the reviewers of their papers, and reviewers do not know the names of the authors. Please read the Example Paper for detailed instructions on how to preserve anonymity. Avoid providing information that may identify the authors in the acknowledgments (e.g., co-workers and grant IDs) and in the supplemental material. Avoid providing links to websites that identify the authors.
All submitted papers will be refereed double-blindly by experts in the respective fields according to the criteria of originality, significance, quality, and clarity. The authors of accepted papers will have an opportunity to revise their papers and take consideration of the referees’ comments and suggestions, before submitting the final camera-ready version.
Papers presented at DMBD 2021 will be published in Springer Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) (indexed by EI Compendex, ISI proceedings, ISTP, DBLP, etc.) and some high-quality papers will be selected for several SCI-indexed journals.
Paper Format
Papers must be single-spaced in one column format within an area of 122 mm x 193 mm with 10-point Times-Roman font. Each paper must exceed 10 pages and cannot exceed 15 pages including figures and references (papers beyond 15 pages are subject to page surcharge). All papers must be written in English using the Springer CCIS (Communications in Computer and Information Science) style, including all tables, figures, and references. It is required that the authors use the style file of Springer CCIS (template files for MS Word or LaTeX2e) when preparing the manuscripts to ensure the uniformity of papers.

Presentation Modes
The presentation mode of a paper can be oral or poster depending on the preference of the authors and arrangement of the organizers. The authors can indicate their preferences on oral or poster presentation when submitting papers.
