CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
PODS 2023 - 42st ACM SYMPOSIUM ON PRINCIPLES OF DATABASE SYSTEMS
Call for Papers - First Submission Cycle
https://2023.sigmod.org/calls_papers_pods_research.shtml
* SCOPE: PODS seeks high-quality scientific articles that present principled contributions to modeling, application, system building, and both theoretical and experimental validation in the context of data management. Such articles might be based, among others, on establishing theoretical results, developing new concepts and frameworks that deserve further exploration, providing experimental work that sheds light on the scientific foundations of the discipline, or a rigorous analysis of both widely used and recently developed industry artifacts.
* NOTE: Following the lead from PODS 2022, please note the following for PODS 2023
1) Submitted papers must be formatted using the standard ACM proceedings stylesheet AND can be up to **8 pages**.
2) PODS 2023 will use a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. However, authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas.
* IMPORTANT DATES: Dates for the first submission cycle are as follows.
** First cycle abstract deadline: May 30, 2022
** Full paper submission deadline: June 06, 2022
** Reviews sent to authors: Aug 19, 2022
** Rebuttal phase: August 22 - 26, 2022
** Notification: Sep 05, 2022
AWARDS - CALLS FOR NOMINATIONS:
ACM PODS 2022 ALBERTO O. MENDELZON TEST-OF-TIME AWARD
* Until March 15, 2022
* Nominations are solicited for the PODS 2022 Test-of-Time Award. The award will recognize a paper or a small number of
papers published in the PODS 2012 proceedings that had the most impact
in terms of research, methodology, or transfer to practice over the intervening decade.
All papers are nominated by default, but the committee welcomes input from our community. Please feel free to nominate a paper if you think it has had
great impact, even if you have not thoroughly compared it to the other eligible papers. The usual conflict of interest rules apply.
The PODS 2022 Test-of-Time Award Committee consists of Michael Bender,
Michael Benedikt (chair), and Sudeepa Roy
Please send your nominations no later than March 15, 2022. Nominations are confidential and will only be shared among the committee members.
The PODS Test-of-Time Award for 2022 will be presented during the SIGMOD/PODS Joint Conference held June 12- June 19, 2022 in Philadelphia,
USA . The PODS 2012 papers can be found at
https://dl.acm.org/doi/proceedings/10.1145/2213556 and also at
https://www.sigmod.org/2012/pods_list.shtml
* Contact: Please email your nominations to Michael (michael.benedikt at cs.ox.ac.uk) with subject line "PODS 2022 ToT Award nomination" together with a brief justification.

The EDBT association and INTENDED AI Chair are happy to announce a jointly sponsored Summer School on Data and Knowledge, which will be hosted in Bordeaux, France, from Monday July 4 to Saturday July 9, 2022. The school will cover a diverse range of topics around foundational database theory and the use of knowledge (constraints, ontologies) in data management, with a special focus on inconsistent, incomplete and more generally "imperfect" data.
We invite students, postdocs, and other researchers interested in learning about the foundational aspects of databases and handling imperfect data to participate in the summer school. Application and registration details can be found on the school website.
PROGRAM
The summer school will feature 11 tutorials from internationally renowned researchers:
* Reasoning with Constraints
Andreas Pieris, University of Edinburgh, UK; University of Cyprus, Cyprus
* Foundations of Graph Databases
Pablo Barceló, Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile
* Provenance
Val Tannen, University of Pennsylvania, USA
* Enumeration
Nicole Schweikardt, Humboldt-University Berlin, Germany
* Probabilistic Databases
Antoine Amarilli, Télécom Paris, France
* Consistent Query Answering
