PODS 2024 - SANTIAGO, CHILE
ACM SYMPOSIUM ON PRINCIPLES OF DATABASE SYSTEMS
SECOND CALL FOR RESEARCH PAPERS
https://2024.sigmod.org/calls_papers_pods_research.shtml

* The Principles of Database Systems (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 nontraditional (see https://databasetheory.org/PODS).

* LOCATION: The 2024 conference will be held in Santiago, Chile.

* FORMATTING: Page limit is 8 pages, not including references. Space for references is not limited.  Additional details may be included in an appendix. Line numbering is encouraged to facilitate the reviewers' job.

PODS 2024 will use a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. This means that submissions must adhere to the following:
- Author names and institutions must be omitted.
- References to the authors’ own related work should be in the third person.
- Acknowledgements, grant numbers, and links to submitted papers in public repositories will not be allowed.
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.

* SCOPE: PODS seeks 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. At a time when computer science is increasingly data centric, it is essential to promote an active exchange of tools and techniques between PODS and other communities focused on data management. PODS thus pays special attention to those papers that help in the urgent process of integrating data management techniques within broader computer science.

* SUBMISSION: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pods2024

* IMPORTANT DATES for the first submission cycle are as follows:
** First cycle abstract deadline: June 6, 2023
** Full paper submission deadline: June 12, 2023
** Reviews sent to authors: August 18, 2023
** Rebuttal phase: August 21 - 25, 2023
** Notification: September 4, 2023

ICDT 2024: 27th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DATABASE THEORY (ICDT 2024)
        Paestum, Italy 25th-28th March 2024
        For more info check https://dastlab.github.io/edbticdt2024/
CALL FOR PAPERS
  * ICDT is a series of international scientific conferences on research
of data management theory
    (https://databasetheory.org/icdt-pages). Since 2009, it is annually
    and jointly held with EDBT (Extending DB Technology).
    The 27th edition of ICDT, in 2024, will take place in Paestum, Italy.
  * Topics of Interest
    We welcome research papers on *every* topic related to the
principles and theory of data management, provided that there is a clear
connection to foundational aspects.
    This includes, for example, articles on "classical" data management
topics such as:
      The design and study of data models and query languages
      The development and analysis of algorithms for data management
      The theoretical investigation of various aspects underlying data
management systems (indexes, concurrency, distributed computation,
privacy and security, ...)
      but also includes papers exploring existing or identifying new
connections between data management and other areas, such as the areas of:
        knowledge representation, semantic web
        information retrieval and data mining
        machine learning/AI
        distributed computing
        theoretical computer science.
  * Important dates.  The 2nd submission cycle for ICDT 2024 has
deadlines as follows:
    ICDT Submission Cycle 2 (Abstract deadline: September 13, 2023; Full
Submission due: September 20, 2023; Notification: November 29, 2023)
  * Submission instructions can be found on the webpage
