Call for Papers

We invite you to present your research at the SDN Conference 2010. We are looking for high quality research papers to be published in the conference proceedings. Submitted abstracts and papers must contain original research that has not been previously published and is not concurrently submitted for publication elsewhere. The conference language is English and all material has to be submitted to the conference in English.

Submission

The process for submission is in two stages: submission and review of abstracts, and final submission and review of full papers. You need to submit an abstract to be considered for submission of a paper. Based on the review of the abstracts a recommendation for submission of short papers and full papers will be given. Short papers are 3000 words, full papers are 5000 words in length.
