CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENTS

ICDT 2020 - 23nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DATABASE THEORY
  Call for papers (Second submission cycle)
March 30 - April 2, 2020, Lisbon, Portugal
https://diku-dk.github.io/edbticdt2020/
* ICDT is an international conferences series that addresses the
 principles and theory of data management. Since 2009, it is annually
 and jointly held with EDBT, the international conference on extending
 database technology. See https://databasetheory.org/icdt-pages.
* As ICDT strives to broaden its scope, ICDT 2020 has a Reach Out
 Track that calls for
- novel formal frameworks or directions for database theory and/or
- connections between principles of data management and other
 communities.
* Every topic related to the principles of data management is relevant to ICDT.
 Examples of relevant topics include
- Data mining, information extraction, information retrieval, and
 database aspects of machine learning
- Data models, design, structures, semantics, query languages,
 and algorithms for data management
- Distributed and parallel databases, cloud computing
- Databases and knowledge representation
- Graph databases, (semantic) Web data, and Web services
- Data streams and sketching
- Data-centric (business) process management and workflows
- Data and knowledge integration and exchange, data provenance, views,
 and data warehouses
- Domain-specific databases (multimedia, scientific, spatial, etc)
- Data privacy and security, concurrency, and recovery
* Important dates (Second submission cycle):
Abstract submission deadline: September 15, 2019
Full paper submission deadline: September 23, 2019
Notification: December 5, 2019
Submissions via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icdt2020

HIGHLIGHTS 2019 - 7th ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON HIGHLIGHTS OF LOGIC, GAMES, AND AUTOMATA
  Call for participation
  September 17-20, 2019, Warsaw, Poland
  http://highlights-conference.org
* HIGHLIGHTS 2019 is the seventh conference on Highlights of Logic, Games and Automata that aims at integrating the community working in these fields. Papers from these areas are dispersed across many conferences, which makes them difficult to follow. A visit to the Highlights conference should offer a wide picture of the latest research in the field and a chance to meet everybody in the community, not just those who happen to publish in one particular proceedings volume.
* SCOPE: Representative areas include, but are not restricted to:
+ logic and finite model theory
+ automata theory
+ games for logic and verification
* The conference is short (from 18 September to the mid-day on 20 September) and it is preceded by the Highlights Tutorial Day (17 September). The participation costs are modest and Warsaw is easy to reach.
* The Contributed Presentations will be around ten minutes long. All speakers are also invited to contribute to a Poster Session, which will open new ways of interaction at the conference for the whole Highlights community.

OTHER  ANOUNCEMENTS

SIGMOD RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT AWARDS
 This year's SIGMOD Research Highlight Awards include three papers from PODS or ICDT:
 * Entity Matching with Active Monotone Classification,
   by Yufei Tao
 * On the Expressive Power of Query Languages for Matrices,
   by Robert Brijder, Floris Geerts, Jan Van den Bussche, and Timmy Weerwag
 * Evaluation and Enumeration Problems for Regular Path Queries,
   by Wim Martens and Tina Trautner
 Congratulations to all authors!
 The  SIGMOD Research Highlight Award is an ACM award for the database community to showcase a set of research projects that exemplify core database research. In particular, these projects address an important problem, represent a definitive milestone in solving the problem, and have the potential of significant impact. The award aims to make the selected works widely known in the database community, to our industry partners, and potentially to the broader ACM community. Papers can be nominated for a SIGMOD Research Highlight by community members, usually on https://sigmodrecord.org/nomination-research-highlight-paper.
* Please send any queries to  esslli20pc at gmail.com
