Research Track PVLDB Vol. 7 and VLDB 2014

We invite submissions of original research papers to the volume
7 of Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment (PVLDB). Accepted papers
will form the Research Track for the 2014 VLDB conference.

The annual VLDB conference is a premier annual international
forum for database researchers, vendors, practitioners,
application developers, and users. PVLDB, established in 2008,
is a scholarly journal for short and timely research papers,
with a journal-style review and quality-assurance process. PVLDB
is distinguished by a monthly submission process with rapid
reviews. PVLDB issues are published regularly throughout the
year. Your paper will appear in PVLDB soon after acceptance, and
possibly in advance of the VLDB conference. All papers accepted
in time (see details on this below) will both be published in
PVLDB Vol. 7 and presented at the VLDB 2014 conference. At least
one author of every submitted paper is expected to attend the
VLDB conference if the paper is accepted.

PVLDB is the only submission channel for research papers to
appear in the VLDB 2014 conference. Detailed information on the
submission guidelines and processes for this track may be found
at http://www.vldb.org/2014/submission_guidelines.html. The
submission process of other VLDB 2014 tracks may differ and is
described in the respective calls for papers.

Important Dates
Submission deadlines: 1st day of each month (first submission: April 1st, 2013,
last submission March 1st, 2014)
Author Notification: 2 months after original submission for the 1st review,
2 months after revision submission the 2nd review and final decision.
Conference dates: September 1st-5th, 2014

Topics of Interest
PVLDB welcomes original research papers on a broad range of
topics related to data-centric computation, especially at scale.
The themes and topics listed below are intended as a sample of
familiar themes and topics; we encourage and expect papers on
all data-centric topics.

Systems for Data Management: data system architecture; storage,
replication and consistency; physical representations; query
and dataflow processing

Scalable Data Analysis: complex queries and search; approximate
querying; scalable statistical methods; management of
uncertainty and reasoning at scale; data privacy and security

Management of Very Large Data Systems: availability; adaptivity
and self-tuning; power management; virtualization

Data Models and Languages: XML and semi-structured data; multi-
media, temporal and spatial data; declarative languages; language
interfaces for databases;

Performance and Evaluation: benchmarking; experimental
methodology at scale; scientific evaluation of complex data
systems

Domain-Specific Data Management: methods and systems for
science; developing regions; networks and mobility; ubiquitous
computing; sensors databases

Management of Web and Heterogeneous Data: information
extraction; information integration; meta-data management; data
cleaning; service oriented architectures

User Interfaces and Social Data: data visualization;
collaborative data analysis and curation; social networks; email
and messaging analytics

To submit a paper, follow the submission guidelines at
http://www.vldb.org/2014/submission_guidelines.html, and choose
the research track for the correct month. Then carefully
choose the subject area(s) that best describe the paper. The
areas indicated impact the choice of both AE and reviewers.
(Make sure not to choose anything labeled ?xxx Track? as a
subject area. This will cause your paper to be moved out of
the research track and into the other track you chose to mark.)
