2009 ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data Call For Papers

The annual ACM SIGMOD conference is a leading international forum for database researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore cutting-edge ideas and results, and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences. We invite the submission of original research contributions and industrial papers, as well as proposals for demonstrations, tutorials, and panels. 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.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

General areas of interests include but are not limited to the following:

- New database architectures, distributed data management (e.g., data  stream management, P2P, replication, and caching) - Data management applications (e.g., Web mashups, social networks,  scientific databases, sensor networks) - Models and languages (e.g., XML, probabilistic data models, meta-data  management, multi-media) - Performance and scalability (e.g., indexing, hardware accelerators) - Other aspects of modern information systems such as security, privacy, personalization, user interfaces, etc.

IMPORTANT DATES

November 27, 2008:	Abstract submission (research papers) December 4, 2008: 	Manuscript submission (research papers, 				industrial papers (no abstract submission),				demonstration, tutorial and panel proposals.) February 27, 2009: 	Notification of acceptance.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Detailed submission instructions will be published on the conference web site. All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled electronically. The following items apply to research papers only, not industrial papers or demonstration, tutorial, or panel proposals.

Double-blind reviewing: As has become the tradition for SIGMOD, research papers will be judged for quality and relevance through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Thus, author names and affiliations must not appear in the paper, and bibliographic references must be adjusted to preserve author anonymity. Further details on anonymity requirements are available on the Web page.
