<br>
** Important Message on Covid-19 **<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
** Aims of the Workshop **<br>
<br>
For over 30 years, <span class="gmail-il">DBPL</span> 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 <span class="gmail-il">DBPL</span>.<br>
<br>
As an established destination for such new ideas, <span class="gmail-il">DBPL</span>
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.<br>
<br>
** Topics of Interest **<br>
<br>
Suggested, but not exclusive, topics of interest for submissions include: <br>
<br>
- Language-Integrated Query Mechanisms<br>
- Emerging and Nontraditional Data Models<br>
- Compiling Query Languages to Modern Hardware<br>
- Data-Centric Programming Abstractions, Comprehensions, Monads<br>
- Data Integration, Exchange, and Interoperability<br>
- Data Synchronization and Bidirectional Transformations<br>
- Declarative Data Centers (e.g., distributed query processing, serverless computing platforms, social computing platforms, etc)<br>
- Language-Based Security in Data Management<br>
- Managing Uncertain and Imprecise Information<br>
- Metaprogramming and Heterogeneous Staged Computation<br>
- Programming Language Support for Data-Centric Programming (e.g., databases, web programming, machine learning, etc)<br>
- Query Compilation and In-memory Databases<br>
- Query Language Design and Implementation<br>
- Query Transformation and Optimization<br>
- Schema Mapping and Metadata Management<br>
- Semantics and Verification of Database Systems<br>
- Stream Data Processing and Query Languages<br>
- Type and Effect Systems for Data-Centric Programming<br>
<br>

<br>
** Submission **<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Review is single-blind, so authors do not need to anonymize their
submissions. PC submissions are allowed, except for the co-chairs.<br>
<br>
At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the symposium to present their work.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
