SIGMOD 2014 CALL FOR RESEARCH PAPERS
ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data
Snowbird, UTAH, USA
June 22-27, 2014
http://www.sigmod2014.org

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 relating to all aspects of data management defined broadly, and particularly encourage submissions on topics of emerging interest in the research and development communities.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

• Storage, indexing, and physical database design
• Query processing and optimization
• Text databases, XML, keyword search
• Cloud computing, MapReduce, parallel and distributed data management
• Security, privacy, authenticated query processing
• Aggregation, data warehouses, OLAP, analytics
• Streams, sensor networks, complex event processing
• Knowledge discovery, data mining, clustering
• Spatial, temporal, multimedia and scientific databases
• Graph management, RDF, social networks
• Systems, performance, transaction processing
• Database models, uncertainty, schema matching, data integration, crowd sourcing

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled electronically. Submissions must adhere to the paper formatting instructions. 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 papers, and bibliographic references must be adjusted to preserve author anonymity. Submissions should be uploaded at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/SIGMOD2014/.

• Industrial papers and Demo papers   10 December 2013
• Tutorial and panel proposals          6 January 2014
