SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS 

SEBD 2025 invites research, industry, application contributions, and software demonstration submissions. Regular papers presenting original work are solicited. Moreover, discussion papers containing descriptions of results already published are also welcomed. There are three submission formats:

• Regular papers (up to 12 pages + references). Original research works. Regular papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.

• Discussion papers (up to 8 pages + references). Results and ideas of interest to the SEBD audience, including extended abstracts of recent authors’ publications, papers currently under submission, position papers, system and application descriptions, and presentations of preliminary results.

• Doctoral Consortium papers (up to 5 pages + references + 1-page appendix). The submitted paper must be singly authored by a Ph.D. student. If accepted, it will be presented during the Doctoral Consortium session. The 1-page appendix should describe the benefits that would be obtained by attending the doctoral symposium, including:

• A statement by the student saying why they want to attend the Doctoral Symposium.

• A statement by their advisor saying how the student would benefit by attending the Doctoral Symposium.

• Advisors should also specifically state whether the student has written, or is close to completing, a thesis proposal (or equivalent) and when they expect the student would defend their dissertation if they progress at a typical rate.

Authors can submit and update submissions through the CMT system at the following link: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SEBD2025. Please note that for Doctoral Consortium contributions authors have to select the corresponding track. 

Paper selection will be based on originality, clarity, and technical quality. Submissions of papers must be in English, in PDF format, and formatted following the new CEUR-ART 1-column style, which is the style requested for the camera-ready preparation (Overleaf template). 

Accepted regular and discussion papers, as well as accepted Doctoral consortium papers, will be included in the proceedings. Proceedings will be published on CEUR-WS.org and indexed in Scopus. After acceptance, authors are required to re-submit the final PDF. All accepted papers are expected to be presented at the conference, and at least one author is required to register for the conference by the early registration deadline. To accommodate a potentially large number of papers, PC chairs could accommodate poster sessions in addition to regular oral sessions. Each possible poster session will be introduced by a booster session where the authors can pitch the poster contribution with a 1-2 minute presentation. Authors of accepted papers will be notified about the final decision on the presentation format.
