    and HCI, HCI for modern information systems, index and storage systems, blockchain, parallel, distributed & P2P systems, Deep Web, Web information systems, advanced database and Web applications, and information extraction and summarization.

    Paper Submission
    Paper submission must be in English. All papers will be double-blind reviewed by the Program Committee based on technical quality, relevance to DASFAA, originality, significance, and clarity. All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Any
    submitted paper violating the length, file type, or formatting requirements will be rejected without review.
    Each submitted paper should include an abstract up to 200 words and be no longer than 16 pages (including references, appendices, etc.) in LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) format. We encourage authors to cite related work comprehensively. When
    citing conference papers, please also consider citing their extended journal versions if applicable. All papers must be submitted electronically through the paper submission system in PDF only.
    The submitted papers must not be previously published anywhere and must not be under consideration by any other conference or journal during the DASFAA review process. If the paper was accepted, at least one author will complete the regular registration
    and attend the conference to present the paper. For no-show authors, their papers will not be included in the proceedings. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

    Double-Blind Review
    DASFAA 2021 will employ a double-blind reviewing process, i.e., the PC members and referees who review the paper will not know the identity of the authors. To ensure the anonymity of authorship, authors must prepare their manuscript as follows:
    - Author's names and affiliations must not appear on the title page or elsewhere in the paper.
    - Funding sources must not be acknowledged on the title page or elsewhere in the paper.
    - Research group members, or other colleagues or collaborators, must not be acknowledged anywhere in the paper.
    - Source file naming must also be done with care, to avoid identifying the author's names in the paper's associated metadata. For example, if your name is Jane Smith and you submit a PDF file generated from a .dvi file called Jane-Smith.dvi, your
    authorship could be inferred by looking into the PDF file. Submissions must have all details identifying the author(s) removed from the original manuscript (including the supplementary files, if any), and the author(s) should refer to their prior work in
    the third person and include all relevant citations.
    It is the responsibility of authors to do their very best to preserve anonymity. Papers that do not follow the guidelines here, or otherwise potentially reveal the identity of the authors, are subject to immediate rejection. Because of the double-blind
    review policy, the submission of an extended version of a short paper that has published elsewhere is strongly discouraged in DASFAA 2021. Because of the double-blind review process, non-anonymous papers that have been issued as technical reports (e.g.,
    arXiv or similar) cannot be considered for DASFAA 2021.

    Call for Workshops for the 26th International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications (DASFAA 2021)

    We invite workshop proposals on topics related to database systems and their applications. The duration of each workshop is either one full day or a half day. All workshops will benefit from the registration process of DASFAA 2021 (we will have a single
    registration for conferences, workshops and tutorials).

    Submission Guidelines for Workshop Proposals
    Workshop proposals should be submitted by email to xu...@comp.hkbu.edu.hk and wcp...@cs.nctu.edu.tw as a PDF attachment. Please include "DASFAA 2021 Workshop Proposal" in the subject line. Each workshop proposal must contain all pertinent information,
    including the following:
    Workshop title and acronym
    Short description about the workshop, including the list of topics
    Name and contact information of the organizer(s)
    Preferred duration of the workshop (half or full day)
