[DMANET] DISC 2014: Final CFP, extended deadlines

(Apologies for crosspostings)

The DISC deadlines have been extended by a few days (see below). This
gives all authors an additional week-end to polish their submissions,
and it adds a few days between the PODC camera-ready deadline and the
DISC submission deadline. Note that there will not be an additional
deadline extension and all deadlines are firm (abstract registration
by May 14 is mandatory in order to be able to submit a paper).

Submission
----------
Papers are to be submitted electronically, following the guidelines on
the conference web page. Submissions must be in English, in .ps or .pdf
format, and begin with a cover page (not a cover letter) including:
(1) title,
(2) authors' names and affiliations,
(3) contact author's postal and email address,
(4) a short abstract of the paper,
(5) indication of whether this is a regular paper or a brief
announcement, and
(6) indication of whether the paper is eligible for best student paper
award.

A submission for a regular presentation must report on original research
that has not previously appeared, and has not been concurrently
submitted to a journal or conference with published proceedings. Any
overlap with a published or concurrently submitted paper must be clearly
indicated. A regular submission must not exceed 10 single-column pages
using at least 11 point font on letter paper (excluding cover page and
references). Authors are expected to include all the ideas necessary for
an expert to verify the central claims in the paper. If necessary, the
details may appear in a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at
the discretion of the program committee.

A brief announcement submission must not exceed 3 pages in the same
format. It is permissible for the material in brief announcements to be
published in other conferences. Submissions not conforming to these
rules and papers outside of the scope of the conference will be rejected
without consideration. If requested by the authors on the cover page, a
regular submission that is not selected for a regular presentation can
be considered for the brief announcement format. Such a request will not
affect consideration of the paper for a regular presentation.


Publication
-----------
The proceedings will be published as a volume in the ARCoSS Springer
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Camera-ready versions of
accepted papers must be submitted in the LNCS format.


Awards
------
Awards will be given to the best paper and the best student paper. To be
eligible for the best student paper award at least one of the paper
authors must be a full-time student at the time of submission, and the
student(s) must have made a significant contribution to the paper.
