ICDE'09 Call for Research Papers

The 25th International Conference on Data Engineering
March 29 - April 4, 2009, Shanghai, China
http://i.cs.hku.hk/icde2009/

Data Engineering refers to the use of engineering techniques and methodologies in the design, development and assessment of information systems for different computing platforms and application environments. The 25th International Conference on Data Engineering provides a premier forum for sharing and exchanging research and engineering results to problems encountered in today’s information society.

Authors are invited to submit papers in all areas of data and information engineering, including but not limited to those listed in the table below. We especially encourage submissions that make efforts (1) to expose practitioners to the most recent research results, tools, and practices that can contribute to their everyday practical problems and to provide them with an early opportunity to evaluate them; (2) to raise awareness in the research community of the difficult data & information engineering problems that arise in practice; (3) to promote the exchange of data & information engineering technologies and experiences among researchers and practitioners; and/or (4) to identify new issues and directions for future research and development in the data & information engineering field.

Authors will be asked to categorize their papers as one of: theory, algorithms, systems and applications. While we accept papers of any of these kinds, we particularly encourage systems papers which contain a substantial implementation effort. 

Awards:

An award will be given to the best paper submitted to the conference. A separate award will be given to the best student paper. Papers eligible for this award must have a (graduate or undergraduate) student listed as the first and contact author, and the majority of the authors must be students. Such submissions must be marked as student papers at the time of submission.

Submission information:

Research papers must be prepared in the 8/5"x11" IEEE camera-ready format, with a 10-page limit, and submitted electronically at the following address: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ICDE2009.

Formatting instructions and LaTeX macros are available on the IEEE Computer Society site:

    * http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm
    * ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/

All accepted papers will appear in the Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society.

A paper submitted to ICDE 2009 cannot be under review for any other conference or journal during the time it is being considered for ICDE 2009, and it must be substantially different from any previously published work. Authors submitting papers to ICDE 2009 implicitly agree to the following terms:

"I understand that the paper being submitted must not contain substantial overlap with any other paper submitted elsewhere now or during the review process. Furthermore, previously published papers with any overlap are cited prominently in this submission."

Questions about this policy or how it applies to your work should be directed to the program chairs.

Authors of accepted papers must sign an IEEE copyright release form. The online conference proceedings may be published as early as February 14, 2009, so any patent applications must be resolved before that time. By submitting a paper to ICDE 2009, authors implicitly agree to public release of the paper as of the above date -- no papers will be withheld from the online proceedings.

Further submission instructions will be provided in due time.
