ACM PODS 2004, Call for Papers

Database programming languages have been a traditional PODS topic. Even more 
now, with the advent of XML, when both database theorists and programming 
language researchers work on typing, type-checking, and type inference of XML 
transformations...

		 Submission format and instructions:

Authors are required to submit a paper title and short abstract (about
100 words) before submitting the paper. The address, telephone number,
FAX number, and e-mail address  of the contact author should appear on
the title page of the  submission. Submissions should be limited to 10
pages (with  font size at  least 11 pts)  and may consist  of extended
abstracts. Each submission must provide sufficient detail to allow the
program committee to assess  its merits and should include appropriate
references to and comparisons  with the literature.  It is recommended
that each submission begins with  a succinct statement of the problem,
a  summary of  the  main results,  and  a brief  explanation of  their
significance  and relevance  to  the conference,  all  suited for  the
non-specialist.  Technical development  of the  work, directed  to the
specialist,  should follow. If  the authors  believe more  details are
necessary  to substantiate  the main  claims  of the  paper, they  may
include a clearly marked appendix to  be read at the discretion of the
committee. Only electronic submissions are accepted.  Instructions for
(electronic) submissions will be posted on PODS's home page.


			       Awards:

Best Newcomer Award: An award will be given to the best submission, as
judged by  the program committee,  written solely by authors  who have
never published in earlier PODS proceedings.

Best Paper  Award: There  will also be  an award  for the best  of all
papers submitted, as judged by the program committee.


The program  committee reserves the right  to give both  awards to the
same paper, not  to give an award, or to split  an award among several
papers. Papers authored or co-authored  by PC members are not eligible
for an award.
