Submission Format

All submitted manuscripts must be PDF files that satisfy:

• • Each page must have a top margin of 1 inch and a left margin of 1.25 inches, and the text area on each page must be 9 inches high by 6 inches wide.
  • Do NOT use a two-column format; all submissions must have a single column format.
  • Use 12 point type.
  • The first page must begin with the title centered at the top, with the authors and their affiliations below the title. (DCC reviewing is single-blind, where the identities of the reviewers are anonymous, but the author names and affiliations are on the manuscript.) Following the title and authors, must be a short abstract, and following the abstract must be the start of the first section.
  • Manuscripts may NOT be more than 10 pages TOTAL, including all references, figures, tables, notes, and appendices.
    

    Note: In the case of an image or video that requires viewing to access visual quality, for optional use by a referee, a reduced size but reasonably viewable image or representative video frame may appear in the manuscript along with a link to the image or the video. In the case of audio, for optional use by a referee, a description of the audio material may be accompanied by a link to the audio.

Manuscript Submission

Manuscripts may be submitted for consideration as full paper or poster, or for consideration as poster only. Manuscripts submitted for consideration as poster only must still submit a thorough description of the work for review (NOT a one page summary).

Manuscripts accepted as papers will be presented at a technical session of the conference and have a final draft of at most 10 pages in the DCC proceedings. Manuscripts accepted as posters will be presented at the DCC poster session and have a one page summary in the DCC proceedings.

For inclusion in the DCC proceedings, an accepted manuscript requires the same formatting as for submission, the only difference being that manuscripts accepted as papers are limited to 10 pages and manuscripts accepted as posters are limited to one page.

Paper Submission

Submit your manuscript following the instructions on the Paper Submission page. Manuscripts must be submitted electronically by October 4, 2024 October 11, 2024, 11:59pm U.S. Pacific Time.

Author Notification

Authors will be notified via email in late December of acceptance as a paper, acceptance as a poster, or rejection. Accepted manuscripts must be submitted electronically; the due date will be in early January. The letter of acceptance will include the exact due date, directions on where and how to make the electronic submission of the final manuscript, and directions for submitting a proceedings copyright form. (Do not include a copyright form with your submission; instead, wait until your submission has been accepted and you receive directions.)

Paper and Poster Presentations

Follow the instructions on the Presentations page to prepare and deliver your paper or poster presentation.

PROCEEDINGS

Access during the conference to an electronic version of the current year’s proceedings is included with DCC registration. Electronic copies of papers and posters from the current and recent past DCC proceedings may be accessed through IEEE Xplore.
