SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled electronically. Submissions must adhere to the paper formatting instructions. Research papers will be judged for quality and relevance through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Author names and affiliations must not appear in the papers, and bibliographic references must be adjusted to preserve author anonymity. Submissions should be uploaded at: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SIGMOD2020 (which will be open for submission starting June 9, 2019).
