CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

http://cidrdb.org/cidr2021

The annual Conference on Innovative Data Systems Research (CIDR) is a systems-oriented conference, complementary in its mission to the mainstream database conferences like SIGMOD and VLDB, emphasizing the systems architecture perspective. CIDR gathers researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry to discuss the latest innovative and visionary ideas in the field, in a focused single-track conference, normally alternating between California and Amsterdam. 

Due to the ongoing pandemic, CIDR2021 will be held online from Monday January 11 until Friday January 15, via Zoom, in daily 3-hour sessions (07:00-10:00 PST, i.e. California Time). 

CONFERENCE PROGRAM

CIDR2021 has accepted 30 research/demo papers which will be presented in 10-minute talks (plus 5 minutes for Q&A). There will also be a gong-show with 11 short (4-minute) talks. 

Please look at the website for more details on the program.

As highlights, we are proud to announce two keynote talks:
- "the Snowflake Data Cloud" Benoit Dageville (Snowflake) on Tuesday 
- "Let the Data Flow!" Kunle Olukotun (Stanford University & SambaNova) on Thursday

There will also be a panel "ML in Databases", chaired by Jignesh Patel (University of Wisconsin) with panelists:
- Tim Kraska (MIT)
- Umar Farooq Minhas (Microsoft Research)
- Thomas Neumann (Technische Universität München)
- Olga Papaemmanouil (Brandeis University)
- Chris Ré (Stanford University)
- Michael Stonebraker (MIT)
that closes the conference on Friday.

REGISTRATION

Registration -via the website- is free, thanks to the CIDR sponsors  (Amazon, Databricks, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Oracle, Snowflake and SAP).
