The International Conference on Extending Database Technology is a leading international forum for database researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to discuss cutting-edge ideas, and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences related to data management. Data management is an essential enabling technology for scientific, engineering, business, and social communities. Data management technology is driven by the requirements of applications across many scientific and business communities and runs on diverse technical platforms associated with the web, enterprises, clouds, and mobile devices. The database community has a continuing tradition of contributing with models, algorithms and systems, to the set of tools and applications enabling day-to-day functioning of our societies. Faced with the broad challenges of today's applications, data management technology constantly broadens its reach, exploiting new hardware and software to achieve innovative results.
EDBT 2020 invites industrial and application papers that describe important industrial advances and application achievements. We encourage submissions related to all aspects of data management and database management systems. Particularly, we encourage work on applying recent research advances to real-world problems and industrial systems.
Moreover, new applications, novel systems, challenging real-world use cases, practical customer case-studies, as well as analysis of applied technology in an industrial context are highly welcome.
We welcome papers on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
The following two types of paper are considered:
Submissions to this track have a page limit of 12 pages. Papers will be selected based on their contribution, originality, and significance. Please make it explicit in the submission if the paper is to be reviewed as an industrial or application paper.
All deadlines expire at 11:59pm, AoE.
All submissions will be electronic via Easychair.
All papers in the Industrial and Applications track have a page limit of 12 pages.
The EDBT/ICDT 2020 Joint Conference is single-blind, and thus authors must include their names and affiliations in submissions.
For further information on formatting instructions and submission restrictions, see below.
When submitting an industrial or applications paper, the submission site will request information about conflicts of interest of the paper’s authors with program committee (PC) members. It is the full responsibility of all authors of a paper to identify all and only their PC members they have a COI with as defined below. Papers with incorrect or incomplete COI information at the time when submission closes are rejected.
A paper author has a conflict of interest with a PC member when, and only when, one or more of the following conditions holds:
An industrial and application paper submitted to EDBT 2020 cannot be under review for any other publishing forum or presentation venue, including conferences, workshops, and journals, during the time it is being considered for EDBT. Furthermore, after you submit an industrial and application paper to EDBT, you must await the response from EDBT and only resubmit elsewhere if your paper is rejected (or withdrawn at your request) from EDBT.
All industrial and application papers submitted to EDBT 2020 must present substantial novel content not described in any prior publication. A prior publication is either (a) a paper of five pages or more presented, or accepted for presentation, at a refereed conference or workshop with proceedings or (b) an article published, or accepted for publication, in a refereed journal. If an EDBT 2020 submission has overlap with a prior publication, the submission must cite the prior publication. Any violation of this policy will result in the immediate rejection of the submission.
Length: Industrial and application papers have a page limit of 12 pages.
File type: Each industrial and application paper is to be submitted as a single PDF file, formatted for A4 paper and no more than 5 MB in file size. Submitted papers must print without difficulty on a variety of printers, using Adobe Acrobat Reader. It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that their submitted PDF file will print easily on simple default configurations.
Formatting: Industrial and application papers must follow the ACM Proceedings Format (available here). Please make sure you are using the latest 2020 version. Modified ACM LaTeX2e style files with ISBN and copyright information for EDBT 2020 can be downloaded here: acmart-edbt2020.cls, sample-edbt2020.pdf, sample-edbt2020.tex (Note: to test the EDBT 2020 style files, make sure you place them in the same directory where you extracted the standard ACM Proceedings Format); for convenience, the file sample-edbt2020.zip provides a consolidated basic package). The font size, margins, inter-column spacing, and line spacing in the templates must be kept unchanged.
Any submitted paper violating the length, file type, or formatting requirements will be rejected without review.
For further information on the conference, venue and further call for papers please refer to the EDBT 2020 website.
We very much look forward to your submissions,
Angela Bonifati, Program Chair
Alexander Böhm, Industrial/Applications PC Chair
