TRACKS

There are three research tracks in SIGMOD 2024:

    Regular Track

    We invite the submission of original research contributions relating to all aspects of data management.

    Data Management for Data Science (DMDS) Special Track

    We invite the submission of original data science research targeting the data life cycle of real applications, studying phenomena at scales, complexities, and granularities never before possible. This data life cycle encompasses databases/data management/data systems/data engineering often leveraging statistical, machine learning, and artificial intelligence methods and, in many instances, using massive and heterogeneous collections of potentially noisy datasets. Such papers are expected to focus on data-intensive components of data science pipelines; and solve problems in areas of interest to our community (e.g., data curation, optimization, performance, storage, systems). Submissions are expected to describe (a) deployed solutions to data science pipelines and/or (b) fundamental experiences and insights from evaluating real-world data science problems. We expect that the related systems and/or datasets (including possibly query logs) will be accessible for the data management research community in order to promote future research directions.

    Data-intensive Applications (DIA) Special Track

    We invite the submission of papers describing applications, systems, and datasets (e.g. content, creation, quality), along with the underlying practical data management problems and related research challenges. These applications may stem from outside the core data management community (e.g., computer graphics, computer networking) or even from outside computer science (e.g., astronomy, genomics, healthcare), but have clearly demonstrated non-trivial data-centric challenges necessitating novel systems and technologies. Submissions may describe fundamental experiences and insights gained from deployment or detailed evaluation of data-intensive systems in particular application domains. We expect that the related systems and/or datasets (including possibly query logs) will be accessible for the data management research community in order to promote future research directions.

All research track papers (including special track papers) are subject to double-anonymity requirement.
