Preliminary Call for Research Papers - ICDE 2014

The annual ICDE conference addresses research issues in designing, building, managing, and evaluating advanced data-intensive systems and applications. It is a leading forum for researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore cutting-edge ideas and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences. We invite the submission of original research contributions.

ICDE 2014 will be held in Chicago, IL, USA, March 31-April 4, 2014. Chicago, on the southwestern shores of Lake Michigan, is an international hub for finance, commerce, industry, telecommunications, and transportation. The city is also a home to 12 Fortune-500 companies, with O'Hare International Airport being the second-busiest airport in the world. Chicago is famous for its rich cultural life, celebrated live music, and world-class dining. The conference will be held at the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza Hotel, which offers exceptional views of the Chicago River and the Chicago skyline. The hotel is adjacent to Merchandise Mart and is minutes from Michigan Avenue, the Magnificent Mile shopping district, the Loop, and Millennium Park.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

All submissions must be prepared in the IEEE camera-ready format and submitted to the CMT system. Only submissions in PDF format are accepted. Research paper submissions are limited to 12 pages. A paper submitted to ICDE 2014 cannot be under review for any other conference or journal during the entire time it is considered for ICDE 2014, and it must be substantially different from any previously published work (other than posters or short papers with a length of up to 4 pages when converted into the IEEE format). Submissions are reviewed in a single-blind manner.

Authors of research papers will have an opportunity to give concise feedback on preliminary reviews within a one-week time. All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings. The online proceedings may be published as early as February 1, 2014. Accepted papers will be 12 pages long. The best papers will be selected for extended versions to be published in the IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if none of the authors attends the conference to present their paper.
