ACM SIGMOD International Conference on MANAGEMENT OF DATA (SIGMOD 2011)

CALL FOR RESEARCH PAPERS
ACM SIGMOD International Conference on MANAGEMENT OF DATA (SIGMOD 2011)
June 12 - June 16, 2011, Athens, Greece
http://www.sigmod2011.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. 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 topics:
* New data management architectures, distributed data management (e.g., data stream management, P2P, replication, and cloud)
* Data management applications (e.g., Web services and mashups, social networks scientific databases, sensor networks, decision-making and analytics)
* Data models and languages (e.g., semi-structured, probabilistic, multi-media, temporal, spatial)
* Data-centric workflow and process management
* Data integration, meta-data management, data quality, data cleaning
* Performance, scalability and dependability of information systems
* Benchmarking and experimental methodology
* Other aspects of modern information systems such as data security, data privacy, personalization, user interfaces, etc.

--- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ---
All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled electronically. Submissions must adhere to the paper formatting instructions.
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 affiliation must not appear in the paper, and bibliographic references must be adjusted to preserve author anonymity. Submissions should be uploaded through the submission site at:
https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/SIGMOD2011

Monday October 25, 2010: Abstract Submission, 3pm EDT
Monday November 1, 2010: Research Paper submission, 3pm EDT
