CALL FOR RESEARCH AND INDUSTRY PAPERS

ICDE 2013: 29th IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering

SPONSORED BY THE IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY

SOFITEL BRISBANE CENTRAL HOTEL, BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, APRIL 8-11 2013

http://www.icde2013.org

Submissions: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ICDE2013

The annual ICDE conference addresses research issues in designing, building,
managing, and evaluating advanced data-intensive systems and applications.
It is a leading forum for 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 workshops, panels, tutorials,
and demonstrations.
ICDE 2013 will be held in Brisbane, Australia, April 8-11, 2013. Brisbane is
the capital city of the state of Queensland. The conference will be held at
the Sofitel Hotel in the center of Brisbane.

------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
------------------------------------------------
All submissions must be prepared in the IEEE camera-ready format and
submitted to the CMT system at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ICDE2013.
Research and industrial paper submissions are limited to 12 pages. A paper
submitted to ICDE 2013 cannot be under review for any other conference or
journal during the entire time it is considered for ICDE 2013, and it must
be substantially different from any previously published work (other than
posters or short papers with a length of up to 4 pages when converted into
the IEEE format). Submissions to the industrial program may be paper-length
or extended abstracts of 1-2 pages. They should present interesting aspects
of commercial products and services and lessons learned from practical
usage, not research results or prototypes from industry labs.

Submissions are reviewed in a single-blind manner. Authors of research
papers will have an opportunity to give concise feedback on preliminary
reviews within a one-week time window.

All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings. The online proceedings
may be published as early as February 1, 2013. Accepted papers will be 12
pages long. The best papers will be selected for extended versions to be
published in the IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering. IEEE
reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference
(e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the authors do not attend the conference
to present their paper.

Formatting instructions and LaTeX macros are now available for download:
Important note: Only submissions in PDF format are accepted.

Call for proposals for demos, seminars (tutorials), and workshops are to be
issued separately.
