Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper (between 1 to 7 pages, standard 2 column IEEE style) by March 23, 2008 (file size limitation: 5.0 MB). Different to practice at other WORLDCOMP'08 conference, DMIN'08 uses an online conference management and paper submission system, to which the draft papers must be submitted online, in IEEE-format and exclusively as a PDF-file. Please follow the formatting instructions for the draft paper:
    • Paper Size: US Letter format (8.5" x 11") or A4 (210 X 297 mm)
    • Paper Length: Maximum 7 pages, including figures, tables & references
    • Paper formatting: double column, single spaced, 10pt font.
    • Margins: Left, Right, and Bottom: 0.75" (19mm). The top margin must be 0.75" in (19 mm), except for the title page where it must be 1" (25 mm).
    • Do not number your manuscript pages.
    • The first page must include:
      • Title of the paper
      • Name, affiliation, postal address, E-mail address, telephone number, and fax number for each author
      • Underline the name of the author who will be presenting the paper (if accepted) -  This will not be required for the camera ready version! 
      • a maximum of 5 keywords - This will not be required for the camera ready version! 

Violations of any of the above paper specifications may result in rejection of your paper!

You may download preliminary information on the IEEE style below. Please consider, that although these files are IEEE information for submissions to the WCCI'06 conference, they are also the requirement for the DMIN'08.

The submission system is closed now.

Review Process

Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness. Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in the topical area. To reflect upon feedback from last year we will extend the constructive feedback given within the review. Please consult the pages for the Review Process for additional Information.

We particularly encourage submissions of industrial applications and case studies from practitioners. To reflect the requirements of an application or project centric case study presentation, these will be subject to different review criteria. In particular, they will not be evaluated using predominantly theoretical research criteria of originality etc., but will take general interest and presentation stronger into consideration. The camera-ready papers will be reviewed by one person.
