CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENTS:

PODS 2018 - 37th ACM SIGMOD-SIGACT-SIGAI Symposium on
PRINCIPLES OF DATABASE SYSTEMS
  Call for Papers
  June 11 - June 13, 2018, Houston, Texas, USA
  http://sigmod2018.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 (see
  http://www.sigmod.org/the-pods-pages/the-pods-pages). 
  For the 37th edition, 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; validation of established theoretical approaches from
  the lens of practical applicability in data management. Papers in
  this track should provide an experimental evaluation that gives new
  insight in established theories. Besides, they should provide a
  clear message to the database theory community as to which aspects
  need further (theoretical) investigation, based on the experimental
  findings.
* TOPICS that fit the interests of the symposium include, but are not
  limited to: concurrency & recovery, distributed/parallel databases,
  cloud computing; data and knowledge integration and exchange, data
  provenance, views and data warehouses, metadata management;
  data-centric (business) process management, workflows, web services;
  data management and machine learning; data mining, information
  extraction, search; data models, data structures, algorithms for
  data management; data privacy and security, human-related data and
  ethics; data streams; design, semantics, query languages;
  domain-specific databases (multi-media, scientific, spatial,
  temporal, text); graph databases and (semantic) Web data;
  incompleteness, inconsistency, uncertainty in data management;
  knowledge-enriched data management; model theory, logics, algebras,
  computational complexity.
* Important dates: Abstract submission: Dec 12, 2017; 
  Paper submission: Dec 19, 2017; Final notification: Feb 27, 2018.
  All deadlines end at 11:59pm AoE.
