[TYPES] ACM PODS 2005, Call For Papers

[Frank Neven]

Dear Stephanie,

Could you please post the following CPF?

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. In this respect, I think that the PODS cfp is relevant for 
TYPES.

thanks,
Frank

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.
