EDBT 2010 Camera-Ready Submission Instructions

Thank you and congratulations for your accepted paper at EDBT 2010. To make sure your publication gets appropriately published at the ACM Digital Library, we have collected some information to prepare the camera-ready version of your paper. Please read them carefully.

Make sure you submit your paper to the EDBT 2010 Proceedings Builder no later than January 11, 2010. Also, you must send signed and filled-out copyright form by fax (+41 44 632 1425) to the Proceedings Chair, Jens Teubner by that date.

Submission Format

Papers must be submitted in PDF format and according to the ACM proceedings format. Templates to prepare your submission can be found on the ACM SIG Proceedings templates website. It is not permissible under any circumstance to change the template's font size, margins, intercolumn spacing, or line spacing. Templates are available in Word, WordPerfect, and LaTeX (versions 2.09 and 2e). For the LaTeX formats, you may use either the standard style or the SIG-alternate style.

Paper length

This page limit includes all parts of your paper: title, abstract, body, bibliography, and appendices.

Page format

Please make sure your paper uses the US Letter format (8½ × 11 inches).

Page numbers, etc.

Make sure that your paper does not contain page numbers. Page numbers will be automatically inserted by our publisher, ACM.

ACM copyright statement

You must include the ACM copyright statement on the first page of your paper, as follows:

Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page. To copy otherwise, to republish, to post on servers or to redistribute to lists, requires prior specific permission and/or a fee.

to the prolog section of their .tex documents (before the \maketitle command).

Fonts and figures

Be sure that all fonts used in your paper are embedded in the submitted PDF file. Use Type 1 fonts (scalable), not Type 3 (bitmapped).

We suggest representing your figures as vector graphics. They allow for arbitrary scaling and print out best. If you have to use bitmap formats, please prefer lossless data formats (e.g., PNG, TIFF) over lossy compression formats. JPEG graphics in particular tend to look poorly and should be avoided.

If you include colored figures in your paper, please be aware that it will often be printed on black&white printers and, hence, should be comprehensible also without color information. Also note that thin lines or gray shadings may appear differently on your reader's printers.

Abstract

You will also have to upload an ASCII version of the abstract of your paper. To ensure your abstract is reproduced properly, do not use LaTeX or other markup in your abstract. Further, please use the Proceedings Builder platform to check whether special characters or symbols appear correctly.

ACM Computing Classification Categories and Terms

Please apply ACM Computing Classification categories and terms. The templates include space and instructions for this indexing. The classification scheme can be found at http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998.

Submission Process

Each author will shortly receive an email with individual login information to the EDBT 2010 Proceedings Builder website. After logging in, you can/must

The deadline to submit all information is January 11, 2010.
