CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENTS:

PODS 2017 - SYMPOSIUM ON PRINCIPLES OF DATABASE SYSTEMS
Call for Contributions
May 14 - 19, 2017, Rayleigh, North Carolina, US
http://www.sigmod2017.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 foundations of data management, traditional or non-traditional.
* PODS continues to aim to broaden its scope, and calls for research papers providing
original, substantial contributions along one or more of the following aspects: deep 
theoretical exploration of topical areas central to data management, new formal 
frameworks that aim at providing the basis for deeper theoretical investigation of
important emerging issues in data management, and validation of theoretical 
approaches from the lens of practical applicability in data management. 
* Important Dates: abstract submission due: December 11, 2016, 
paper submission: December 18, 2016
