Demonstration proposals will be evaluated and selected by a demonstration/exhibit program evaluation committee.

Industrial Program

Send the full paper electronically using the interface at  http://msrconf.microsoft.com/SIGMODIndustrial on or before 5 p.m. PST, October 18, 1999. If that's impossible for you, then send e-mail (ASCII, Word, or PDF) or, if necessary, hard copy to:

    Philip A. Bernstein
    Microsoft Corporation

    Redmond, WA 98052-6399

to arrive by 5 p.m. PST October 18, 1999.  Note that electronic  submissions are STRONGLY preferred.

Detailed Instructions:

Authors should submit either an extended abstract (5 pages maximum) or full paper (same length restriction as research papers).  The ideal submissions are industry reports on new developments in DBMS technology, describing experiences using or developing database management systems, or issues arising from handling large volumes of data in an application setting.

A full paper is expected to have similar technical depth and importance as research papers, but need not have novel research contributions.  The committee may accept a full paper contingent on its being shortened to an extended abstract.  Full papers should be 1.5 spaced, in no smaller than 10 point font and with 1 inch margins (left, right, top, bottom).  The title page should have the phone, FAX, and e-address coordinates of the contact author.

Authors of accepted submissions are expected to provide their extended abstract or paper for the electronic proceedings, by the camera-ready due date (March 1, 2000).
