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, Map Reduce, Parallel, Distributed, P2P Systems
• Security, Privacy, Authenticated Query Processing
• Aggregation, Data Warehouses, OLAP, Analytics
• Streams, Sensor Networks, Complex Event Processing
• Knowledge Discovery, Clustering, Data Mining
• Spatial, Temporal, Multimedia and Scientific Databases
• Graph Management, Social Networks
• Systems, Performance, Transaction Processing
• Database Models, Uncertainty, Schema Matching, Data Integration

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/SIGMOD2013/.

For SIGMOD 2013, there will be a “revise and re-submit” option
to replace the feedback and shepherding mechanisms of previous
conferences. The submissions to be revised will be accompanied with
concrete suggestions for improvement, and will go through a second
round of reviews.
