SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION INFORMATION

Papers should be prepared in IEEE CS Proceedings format and submitted via DASC 2017 website:

https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=23308

Research paper (8 pages) should explore a specific technology problem and propose a complete solution to it, with experimental results.

Work-in-Porgress (WiP) and special session papers (4~6 pages) are expected to report on early or ongoing research activities.

Demo/Poster papers (2~4 pages) must describe working systems and be within the scope of DASC and should be submitted to the Poster/Demo Chair.

Workshop and Special Session papers need to be submitted to the corresponding workshops and special sessions.

-Once accepted, the paper will be included into the IEEE conference proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press (EI indexed).

-At least one of the authors of any accepted paper is required to register and present the paper at the conference.

-Extended versions of selected excellent papers will be considered for fast-track publication in special issues of prestige journals (SCI/EI indexed).
