2nd CALL FOR PAPERS

The 18th International Symposium on Database Programming Languages (DBPL
2021)

In conjunction with VLDB 2021

August 16th, 2021, Copenhagen, Denmark
Submission: May 2nd 2021

** Important Message on Covid-19 **

We are monitoring the evolution of the covid-19 pandemic.  Currently we
plan to operate the workshop for 1/2 a day as a physical workshop and 1/2 a
day as an online virtual event.

** Aims of the Workshop **

For over 30 years, DBPL has established itself as the principal venue for
publishing and discussing new ideas and problems at the intersection of
data management and programming languages.  Many key contributions relevant
to the formal foundations, design, implementation, and evaluation of query
languages (e.g., for object-oriented, nested, or semi-structured data) were
first announced at DBPL.

As an established destination for such new ideas, DBPL aims to solicit
submissions from researchers in databases, programming languages or any
other community interested in the design, implementation or foundations of
languages and systems for data-centric computation. Our main goal is to
provide an interdisciplinary venue where current trends, and open problems
as well as insights about research methodology for potential solutions can
be shared and discussed between the two communities.

** Topics of Interest **

Suggested, but not exclusive, topics of interest for submissions include:

- Language-Integrated Query Mechanisms
- Emerging and Nontraditional Data Models
- Compiling Query Languages to Modern Hardware
- Data-Centric Programming Abstractions, Comprehensions, Monads
- Data Integration, Exchange, and Interoperability
- Data Synchronization and Bidirectional Transformations
- Declarative Data Centers (e.g., distributed query processing, serverless
computing platforms, social computing platforms, etc)
- Language-Based Security in Data Management
- Managing Uncertain and Imprecise Information
- Metaprogramming and Heterogeneous Staged Computation
- Programming Language Support for Data-Centric Programming (e.g.,
databases, web programming, machine learning, etc)
- Query Compilation and In-memory Databases
- Query Language Design and Implementation
- Query Transformation and Optimization
- Schema Mapping and Metadata Management
- Semantics and Verification of Database Systems
- Stream Data Processing and Query Languages
- Type and Effect Systems for Data-Centric Programming

** Workshop Chairs **

- Amir Shaikhha, University of Edinburgh
- Norman May, SAP SE

** Program Comittee **

- Evelyne Contejean (Universit?? Paris-Sud)
- Fritz Henglein (University of Copenhagen)
- Jan Hidders (Birkbeck, University of London)
- Vojin Jovanovic (Oracle)
- Oleg Kiselyov (Tohoku University)
- Thomas Neumann (TU Munich)
- Nate Nystrom (RelationalAI)
- Lionel Parreaux (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology)
- Manuel Rigger (ETH Zurich)
- Maximilian Schleich (University of Washington)
- Kai Zeng (Alibaba)

** Important Dates **

- Paper submission:  May 2nd 2021 PT
- Notification of acceptance: June 7th 2021 PT
- Workshop: August 16th 2021 PT

** Submission **

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers in English presenting
original research. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted
for publication elsewhere.  Submissions should be no more than 10 pages
long using the ACM Standard proceedings template.

Short papers of at most 4 pages using the ACM Standard proceedings template
describing work in progress, demos, research challenges or visions are also
welcome.  Accepted short papers may be included or excluded from the formal
proceedings, whichever the author(s) prefer.

Each submission should begin with a succinct statement of the problem and a
summary of the main results. Authors may provide more details to
substantiate the main claims of the paper by including a clearly marked
appendix at the end of the submission, which is not included in the page
limit and is read at the discretion of the committee.

Review is single-blind, so authors do not need to anonymize their
submissions. PC submissions are allowed, except for the co-chairs.

At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the symposium to
present their work.

Accepted papers will be included within the informal online proceedings at
the website. Additionally, all accepted papers will be published online in
the ACM digital library. Therefore, the papers must include the standard
ACM copyright notice on the first page.

For further information on the conference, venue, further CfPs, formatting
instructions, submission guidelines, please refer to the DBPL 2021 website:

We very much look forward to your submissions,

Amir Shaikhha and Norman May
