SIGMOD Call For Papers
The annual ACM SIGMOD conference is a leading forum for database researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore cutting-edge ideas and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences. We invite the submission of original research contributions and industrial papers, as well as proposals for panels, tutorials, and demonstrations. We encourage submissions relating to all aspects of data management defined broadly, and particularly encourage work on topics of emerging interest in the research and development communities.
Important areas of interests include but are not limited to the following:
- organizing and querying information on the Web;
- integration of text, data, code, and streams;
- large-scale information fusion;
- peer-to-peer data management;
- knowledge discovery;
- personalized information systems;
- data privacy and trustworthy systems;
- new user interfaces;
- embedded and self-organizing databases.
Important Dates
November 17, 2003 | Research paper abstracts due |
November 24, 2003 | Research & industrial papers, panels, tutorials, and demos due |
February 16, 2004 | Notification of acceptance |
March 22, 2004 | Camera-ready due |
Submission Guidelines
Research papers will be judged for quality and relevance through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers (this does not include industrial papers, or panel, tutorial, and demo proposals). Thus, authors' names and affiliations must not appear in the paper and bibliographic references must be made in such a way as to preserve author anonymity. Detailed submission instructions appear on the conference web site. All submissions will be handled electronically.
