SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Since the proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series, authors must submit manuscripts using the LNCS style. See www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for style files and details. The suggested number of pages is 14, and the maximum number of pages is 16. Manuscripts not submitted in the LNCS style or having more than 16 pages will not be reviewed and thus automatically rejected. The final, camera-ready version must not exceed 14 pages to avoid page charges. A paper submitted to ER 2008 cannot be under review for any other conference or journal during the time it is being considered for ER 2008. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions for possible publication in the Elsevier's Data & Knowledge Engineering journal.

The best paper presented at the ER2008 Conference, selected by the PC co-chairs, will receive the DKE 25Year Award, given by the Elsevier Company, the Publisher of the Data & Knowledge Enginering Journal to celebrate the 25 years of the journal. The Award will consist of 500€, provided by Elsevier

Submission to ER 2008 will be electronically only. Authors are asked to submit an abstract first, and then to upload the full paper.
