General Guidelines (Draft Papers)

Online Submission of the Draft Paper

To submit your paper please visit the online conference system for DMIN'08 hosted by conference master. Please submit papers as soon as possible to ensure early feedback (deadline: March 23, 2008). Please click on the button below to access to conference management systems:

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.
