CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENTS:

ICDT 2017 - 20th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DATABASE THEORY
  Call for Papers
  March 21-24, 2017, Venice Italy
  http://edbticdt2017.unive.it/
* The series of ICDT conferences (http://icdt.tu-dortmund.de/) provides
  an international forum for the communication of research advances 
  on the theoretical foundations of database systems. Originally
  biennial, the ICDT conference has been held annually and jointly with EDBT 
  (Extending Database Technology) since 2009.
* Examples of relevant topics are: concurrency and recovery, distributed and parallel      
  databases, cloud computing, connections between databases and knowledge representation,
  graph databases and (semantic) Web data, data mining, information extraction, search,
  data streams, data-centric (business) process management, workflows, web services,
  incompleteness, inconsistency, uncertainty in databases,
  data and knowledge integration and exchange, data provenance, views and data warehouses,   
  metadata management,domain-specific databases (multi-media, scientific, spatial,  
  temporal, text), deductive databases, data privacy and security, database aspects of  
  machine learning, model theory, logics, algebras, computational complexity
  design, semantics, query languages, data models, data structures, algorithms for data   
  management
* Important dates:  Abstract submission due: 11 Sept 2016;
  Paper submission: 18 Sept 2016; 
  Notification: 27 November 2016


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


DBDBD 2016 - DUTCH-BELGIAN DATABASE DAY 2016
Call for Contributions
October 28, 2016, Mons, Belgium
http://informatique.umons.ac.be/dbdbd2016/
* The Dutch-Belgian DataBase Day (DBDBD) is a yearly one-day
 workshop organized in a Belgian or Dutch university, whose
 general topic is database research. DBDBD invites
 submissions (1 page abstract) on a broad range of database and
 database-related topics, including but not limited to data
 storage and management, theoretical database issues, database
 performance, data mining, information retrieval, data
 semantics, querying, ontologies etc. Based on the submissions,
 the workshop will be organized in different sessions each
 covering a particular topic.
* At DBDBD, junior researchers from the Netherlands and Belgium
 can present their recent results, and meet senior researchers
 in the field of databases. It is an excellent opportunity to
 meet up with your Belgian/Dutch colleagues, and to get informed
 about the (recent) database-related research performed in
 Belgian/Dutch universities. The workshop is also open to
 non-Belgian/Dutch participants (presentations are in
 English). The workshop consists of oral presentations. There
 are no printed proceedings. Abstracts of talks will be
 published on the workshop's website.
* Important dates:  Abstract submission due: September 30, 2016;
