The International Conference on Extending Database Technology (EDBT) is a leading international forum for database researchers, developers, and users to present and discuss cutting-edge ideas, and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences related to data management. Data management is an essential enabling technology for scientific, business, and social communities. Data management technology is driven by the requirements of applications across many scientific, business and social 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 architectures to the set of tools and applications that enable 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 will be held in beautiful Copenhagen, Denmark on March 30-April 2, 2020.
The EDBT demonstration program has become an important venue for sharing cutting-edge, prototype data management systems with the greater data management community. We solicit original demonstration proposals that will showcase the most exciting new data management technologies.
We encourage submissions related to all aspects of data management defined broadly, and particularly encourage work on topics of emerging interest in the database research and development communities. We welcome demo papers on topics including, but not limited to:
Demonstrations may consist of software, hardware, or both. The emphasis of the EDBT demonstration program is on visionary, next generation systems requiring significant research and development effort.
Authors may include a description of the novel intellectual content of the underlying system and of its architecture. The demonstration proposal must include citations of the most relevant papers about the proposed system and any previous publications of that same system.
When submitting a 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 the 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:
A demo 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 your work 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.
Selection of demonstrations for presentation at EDBT is highly competitive. The evaluation criteria include both the audience experience and the novelty of the system. The proposal should also describe in detail what EDBT attendees who view the demonstration will experience. What exactly will the audience see? Will they be able to interact with the system? Is there an interesting scenario or script that the demonstrators will use to motivate the demonstration?
Length: Demo papers (including bibliographic references) should not exceed 4 pages.
File type: Each 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: Demo 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.
The EDBT/ICDT 2020 Joint Conference is single-blind, and thus authors must include their names and affiliations in submissions.
The conference will take place on March 30–April 2, 2020.
Deadlines expire at 11:59pm AoE.
We very much look forward to your submissions.
