The 14th International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2011)
Joint conference with EDBT 2011
March 21-24, 2011, Uppsala, Sweden


* The series of ICDT conferences provides an international forum for
the communication of research advances on the theoretical foundations
of database systems. Originally biennial, the conference is now held
annually and jointly with EDBT. Now for the 14th edition, we again
call for original research papers that provide new insights in the
specification, design, or implementation of data management tools.

* Submissions guidelines:

Paper submission will be electronic. All formatting for final publication
should follow ACM guidelines.
Authors are required to submit a paper title and short abstract (about
100 words) before submitting the paper.

The length of a submission should not exceed 12 pages in ACM
double-column format.

If the authors believe more details are necessary to substantiate the
main claims of the paper, they may also include a clearly marked appendix
to be read at the discretion of the committee. Papers not conforming to
these requirements may be rejected without further consideration.

The results must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere,
including the formal proceedings of other symposia or workshops. All authors
of accepted papers will be expected to sign copyright release forms. One
author of each accepted paper will be expected to present it at the conference.
The proceedings will appear in the ACM International Conference
Proceedings Series.


Best Paper/Student/Newcomer 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 an award.
