Before you upload your paper, make sure that the paper title and the ordered list of authors in the PDF is identical to the information you have entered in easychair.
Please read carefully the reviewers’ comments, which are intended to help you to improve your paper for final publication. The listed comments should be addressed, as acceptance is conditional on appropriate response to the requirements and comments. BDCAT 2025 requires that the submitted manuscript is solely from the author’s own work and not from the work of others, unless explicit permission has been granted. This includes text, figures and tables. Information from published articles must always be cited explicitly. Proper citation is to give the credit to the work that is originally published, not to follow-up work or reviews. Citations should be given close to the information within the sentences or at the end of the sentence, not after several sentences or near the end of the paragraph. Even when citations are given, exact copying of a whole sentence or paragraphs should be indicated by quotation marks. Furthermore, reuse of part of a published figure or table requires a copyright permission from the publishers that hold the rights. All re-published figures and tables should explicitly indicate the original source.
Then, Proofread and check layout of paper. All papers submitted through the web site are considered to be in final form and ready for publication. Do not submit your paper until you are ready. A good suggestion is to have a few colleagues review your paper to provide final remarks on its suitability before submitting it through the web site.
Accepted papers will be published in the BDCAT Proceedings. Accepted and presented papers will be submitted for publication in IEEE Xplore® Digital Library and ACM Digital Library. If a paper is not presented at the conference, it will be removed from the web site and proceedings.
