CALL FOR PAPERS
27th ACM SIGMOD-SIGACT-SIGART Symposium on
PRINCIPLES OF DATABASE SYSTEMS (PODS 2008)
June 9-11, 2008, Vancouver, Canada
http://www.sigmod08.org/
The PODS symposium series, held in conjunction with the SIGMOD
conference series, provides a premier annual forum for the
communication of new advances in the theoretical foundation of
database systems. For the 27th edition, original research papers
providing new insights in the specification, design, or
implementation of data management tools are called for. Topics
that fit the interests of the symposium include the following (as
they pertain to databases):
algorithms;
complexity;
computational model theory;
concurrency;
constraints;
data exchange;
data integration;
data mining;
data modeling;
data on the Web;
data streams;
data warehouses;
distributed databases;
information retrieval;
knowledge bases;
logic;
multimedia;
physical design;
privacy;
quantitative approaches;
query languages;
query optimization;
real-time data;
recovery;
scientific data;
security;
semantic Web;
semi-structured data;
spatial data;
tem****al data;
transactions;
updates;
views;
Web services;
workflows;
XML.
Im****tant Dates:
Short abstracts due : November 28, 2007
Paper submission : December 5, 2007
Notification : February 26, 2008
Camera-ready copy : March 20, 2008
Submission Guidelines:
Submitted papers should be at most ten pages, using reasonable
page layout and font size of at least 10pt (note that the SIGMOD
style file does not have to be followed). Additional details may
be included in an appendix, which, however, will be read at the
discretion of the program committee. Papers longer than ten pages
or in font size smaller than 10pt risk rejection without
consideration of their merits.
The submission process will be through the Web; a link to the
submission website will appear on the conference website in due
time. Note that, unlike the SIGMOD conference, PODS does not use
double-blind reviewing, and therefore PODS submissions should be
eponymous (i.e., the names and affiliations of authors should be
listed on the paper).
The results must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere, including the proceedings of other symposia or
workshops. All authors of accepted papers will be expected to sign
copyright release forms. One author of each accepted paper will be
expected to present it at the conference.
Awards:
Best Paper Award: An award will be given to the best submission,
as judged by the program committee.
Best Newcomer Award: There will also be an award for the best
submission, as judged by the program committee, written solely by
authors who have never published in earlier PODS proceedings.
The program committee reserves the right to give both awards to
the same paper, not to give an award, or to split an award among
several papers. Papers authored or co-authored by PC members are
not eligible for an award.
