CfP: ICDT 2027 – 30th Int’l Conference on Database Theory, 6–8 April 2027, Lille (France)
ICDT 2027: 30th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DATABASE THEORY (ICDT 2027)
Lille, France, 6-8 April 2027.
https://edbticdt2027.github.io/
CALL FOR PAPERS
ICDT is a series of international scientific conferences on research of data
management theory (https://databasetheory.org/icdt-pages). Since 2009, it is
annually and jointly held with EDBT (Extending DB Technology).
The 30th edition of ICDT, in 2027, is planned to take place in Lille, France from 6-8 April 2027.
# TOPICS OF INTEREST
We welcome research papers on every topic related to the principles and theory
of data management, provided that there is a clear connection to foundational
aspects. This includes, for example, articles on "classical" data management
topics such as the following.
- The theoretical investigation of various aspects underlying data management
systems (e.g., Indexes, Concurrency and recovery, Distributed and parallel
databases, Cloud computing, Privacy and security, Graph databases, Data streams
and sketching, Data-centric (business) process management and workflows, Data
and knowledge integration and exchange, Data provenance, Views, Data warehouses,
Domain-specific databases - multimedia, scientific, spatial, temporal, text
data, ...).
- The design and study of data models and query languages.
- The development and analysis of algorithms for data management.
This also includes papers exploring existing or identifying new connections
between data management and other areas, such as the areas of: knowledge
representation, semantic web, web services, information retrieval and data
mining, machine learning and artificial intelligence, distributed computing, and
theoretical computer science.
In all of the above, a clear emphasis on foundational aspects is expected. You
may want to check https://dblp.org/db/conf/icdt/index.html to get an overview
of previous editions of ICDT.
The Program Committee reserves the right to desk reject a submission when it
is regarded to be out of scope.

# SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
All submissions will be electronic via Microsoft CMT. Link:
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ICDT2027
Papers must be written in English and provide sufficient detail to allow the
program committee to assess their merits. Papers must be submitted as PDF
documents, using the LIPIcs style
(http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors).
# TRACKS
1. Regular Research Papers (15 pages, anonymized)
The results must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere,
including the proceedings of other symposia or workshops. Papers must be at most
15 pages, excluding references. Additional details may be included in a clearly
marked appendix, which, however, will be read at the discretion of the program
committee (online appendices are not allowed). Papers not conforming to these
requirements may be rejected without further consideration.
2. Database Theory in Action (4 pages, non-anonymized)
To broaden the scope of ICDT and showcase the impact of database theory, ICDT
2027 includes again a "Database Theory in Action" track that calls for short
papers illustrating interesting applications of database theory in other domains
or in solving real-world problems. These papers will be 4 pages + references,
and can be based on a previously published paper at another venue.
In particular, we invite papers that demonstrate novel and important connections
between database theory and neighboring communities such as Database Systems,
Operating Systems, Programming Languages, Machine Learning, Artificial
Intelligence, Knowledge Representation, Distributed Computing, and Industry.
At the discretion of the program committee, there may be invited papers to this
track as well.
The title of the papers submitted to this track must start with "Database Theory
in Action:". These papers should also include clear pointers to all relevant
previous publications, websites, tools, repositories, etc.
# PROCEEDINGS AND PARTICIPATION
The conference proceedings will appear in the Leibniz International Proceedings
in Informatics (LIPIcs) series, based at Schloss Dagstuhl. This guarantees that
the proceedings will be available online and free of charge, while the authors
retain the rights over their work.
At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register at the
conference and to present the paper in-person. For rare circumstances when
unexpectedly no co-author of an accepted paper is able to travel, authors are
required to contact the PC Chair early after the notification to discuss and
plan possible alternate presentation options.
# ANONYMOUS SUBMISSION
Since 2024, ICDT has adopted anonymous submission (only for regular track
papers; submissions for the "database theory in action" track should not be
anonymous), in line with other leading conferences in the database community
such as SIGMOD and PODS. The intent of anonymous submission is to ensure that
the identity of the authors is not presented to the reviewers during the review
process. Specifically, submitted papers must not list authors or affiliations,
and must not include acknowledgments to funding sources, or other colleagues or
collaborators. References to the authors' own prior work must not be
distinguished from other references. Where this is not possible (for instance,
when referring to a specific system to which the authors have privileged
access), anonymized citations are permissible. For more background on the
motivation for anonymous submissions, and the mechanisms to achieve it, please
consult [Snodgrass, 2007] https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/~rts/pubs/TODS07.pdf
Simultaneously, the authors may make their submissions available to the
community via pre-print services such as ArXiv and through talks. We do require
that work is not labeled as "under submission at ICDT" or indicates that it is
under review, but otherwise place no restrictions on sharing results. This does
not conflict with the anonymous submission requirement.
# AWARDS
An award will be given to the Best Paper. Also, an award will be given to the
Best Newcomer 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 any award; to
split an award among several papers; and to define the notion of a newcomer.
Following a recent decision by the ICDT council, papers authored or co-authored
by program committee members may be eligible for the best paper award, in which
case the programme committee will take care to follow a selection procedure that
avoids any conflicts of interest.
