CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENTS

PODS 2021 - 40th ACM SIGMOD-SIGACT-SIGART SYMPOSIUM ON
PRINCIPLES OF DATABASE SYSTEMS
  Call for Papers
  June 20-25, 2021, Xi'an, China.
* 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.  For the 40th edition, PODS calls for research papers
  providing original, substantial contributions along the following tracks: deep
  theoretical exploration of topical areas central to data management; new formal
  frameworks that aim at providing a basis for deeper theoretical investigation of
  important emerging issues in data management; validation of theoretical
  approaches from the lens of practical applicability in data management.
* 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: (All deadlines end at 5 PM Pacific Time)
  Second submission cycle: Abstract submission: December 11, 2020;
  Paper submission: December 18, 2020; Notification: March 05, 2021.
* Additional details: http://2021.sigmod.org/calls_papers_pods_research.shtml
