[DL] ICDT 17 Call for Papers

[Giorgio Orsi]

*** Apologies for cross posting ***

The series of ICDT conferences (http://icdt.tu-dortmund.de/) provides an international forum for the communication of research advances on the theoretical foundations of database systems.
Originally biennial, the ICDT conference has been held annually and jointly with EDBT (Extending Database Technology) since 2009.

The 20th edition of ICDT will take place in Venice, Italy between the 21st and the 24th of March 2017 (http://edbticdt2017.unive.it).

The next submission cycle has the following deadlines:

Abstract deadline: September 11, 2016
Full paper submission deadline: September 18, 2016
Notification: November 27, 2016

Any topic related to the principles of data management is relevant to this symposium. Contributions that connect data management to other areas of theoretical computer science, and those which connect database theory and database practice, are particularly welcome.

Examples of relevant topics are:

* concurrency and recovery, distributed and parallel databases, cloud computing
* connections between databases and knowledge representation
* graph databases and (semantic) Web data
* data mining, information extraction, search
* data streams
* data-centric (business) process management, workflows, web services
* incompleteness, inconsistency, uncertainty in databases
* data and knowledge integration and exchange, data provenance, views and data warehouses, metadata management
* domain-specific databases (multi-media, scientific, spatial, temporal, text)
* deductive databases
* data privacy and security
* database aspects of machine learning
* model theory, logics, algebras, computational complexity
* design, semantics, query languages
* data models, data structures, algorithms for data management

Submission instructions:

Papers must be in English and provide sufficient detail to allow the program committee to assess their merits. The results must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere, including the proceedings of other symposia or workshops.

Papers must be submitted as PDF documents no longer than 15 pages excluding references, using the LIPIcs style (http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors).
Additional details may be included in a clearly marked appendix which, however, will be read at the discretion of the program committee.

The proceedings will appear in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series, based at Schloss Dagstuhl.
This guarantees that the proceedings will be available online and free of charge, while the authors retain the rights over their work.

At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register at the conference and to present the paper.

All submissions will be electronic via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icdt2017.

Awards:

An award will be given to the best paper. Also, an award will be given to the best paper written by newcomers to the field of database theory. The latter award will preferentially be given to a paper written only by students; in that case the award will be called "Best Student Paper Award". The program committee reserves the following rights: not to give an award; to split an award among several papers; and to define the notion of a newcomer. Papers authored or co-authored by program committee members are not eligible for any award.
