SRDS 2007 has a half-day workshop program and a three-day conference program, featuring 2 workshops, 3 invited keynote speakers, 29 refereed papers and 2 panels. This year, we received 185 submissions from 25 different countries worldwide. All the manuscripts went through a rigorous review process by the Program Committee and external reviewers. Among these, 29 papers were accepted for presentation at the conference, reflecting an acceptance rate of 15.7%. Due to the large number of submissions, we, unfortunately, are not able to include some good papers.

Here is a colour-coded full program . You can find the program of workshops, a detailed program for all the SRDS conference and a description of on-site logistics, social events and a map of venue here.
