<p>Submisson Instructions<br>-----------------------<br>Papers should not exceed 10 pages double column including figures, tables, and references in standard ACM format. Additional details may be included in a clearly-marked appendix, not exceeding one page that will be read at the discretion of the program committee. Papers must be submitted electronically in printable pdf form via the EasyChair submission management system at <a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icdcn2015">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icdcn2015</a>. <br>
Templates for the standard ACM format can be found at <a href="http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates">http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates</a>. Both strict and alternate styles are acceptable for submission. No changes to margins, spacing, or font sizes are allowed from those specified by the style files. Papers violating the formatting guidelines will be returned without review. The proceedings will be published through ACM and will be available in ACM Digital library. Some papers not accepted as regular papers may be accepted as "Concise papers" with 4 ACM pages in the proceedings while full papers will be allowed 10 ACM pages.<br>
Warning: It is ACM policy not to allow double submissions, where the same paper is submitted to more than one conference/journal concurrently. Any double submissions detected will be immediately rejected from all conferences/journals involved. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper. <br>
