Following the previous DAS workshops, the DAS 20 schedules single track for oral presentation. We estimate that the DAS 2020 will accept about 100 papers, including about 30 oral papers and 70 poster papers. However, we can prepare two meeting rooms for possibly two parallel tracks of oral sessions. We will use two meeting rooms, one for 200 attendees (plenary session and parallel session) and one for 100 attendees (parallel session only).  The Caiyue Hall and Fuli Hall satisfy such requirements. For poster sessions, poster boards can be placed in the two sides of Caiyue Hall.
