PODS 2024: Call for Research Papers
ICDT 2024 TEST-OF-TIME AWARD: Call for Nominations

---------------------------------------------------------------------

PODS 2024 - SANTIAGO, CHILE
ACM SYMPOSIUM ON PRINCIPLES OF DATABASE SYSTEMS
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. We encourage to include line numbers to facilitate the reviewers' work.

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 second submission cycle are as follows:
** Second cycle abstract deadline: December 4, 2023
** Full paper submission deadline: December 11, 2023
** Reviews sent to authors: February 9, 2024
** Rebuttal/revision phase: February 10 - 18, 2024
** Notification: March 4, 2024
