The British International Conference on Databases (BICOD, http://www.bicod.uk) is an international venue for research papers in the broad area of data management. The conference has a long tradition of presenting research from both the UK and internationally.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Full eight-page papers Submitted full papers shall present a scientific contribution and must be no longer than eight pages, excluding bibliography. Authors may include additional details in an appendix attached to the submitted paper. However, program committee members will read appendices at their discretion. Papers that are longer than eight pages (excluding bibliography and appendices) or violate the CEUR proceedings style risk immediate desk rejection without receiving reviews.
- Short four-page papers Short papers are intended to serve as triggers for discussions. Contributions include but are not limited to visions ("I think the future is going to look like …"), positions ("I think we should/should not be doing …") and insights: ("I have found that …"). Perspective papers should be short (no longer than four pages) and to the point.
Presentations
BICOD is a single-track conference. Full papers receive a full presentation slot (exact timing to be determined) in a plenary session. Short papers also receive a (shorter) presentation slot in front of the plenary.
Submission process
BICOD 2021 uses a single-blinded review process. Authors shall submit their contributions via Easychair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=bicod21).
Novelty Requirements
BICOD invites original contributions though these may be made in the context of a larger line of research. To that end, full papers shall include at least 30% new content with respect to prior art and related work. Short papers are not subject to this requirement.
Formatting
Submitted papers are required to be formatted using double columns in the CEURART style. Templates for Latex, Word and OpenDocument can be found here: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/ or directly on Overleaf: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-workshop-proceedings-ceur-ws-dot-org/hpvjjzhjxzjk
