SIGMOD 2023 Call For Workshop Proposals
We invite proposals for workshops to be collocated with the SIGMOD/PODS 2023 conference. The workshops will run on June 18 (Sunday) or June 23 (Friday), and can last for half a day or a full day.
Logistics and Organizational Support
The organisers of accepted workshops are required to announce the workshop and call for papers, solicit submissions, conduct the reviewing process, and decide on the final workshop program that must be published at least two weeks before the early registration deadline. In addition, each workshop must prepare its own proceedings. The publishing company is at the discretion of the workshop chairs, but all proceedings must be submitted for inclusion in the ACM Digital Library. Publication of calls for papers and participation as well as eventual workshop reports in SIGMOD Record are encouraged.
The logistics of the workshops will be handled by the SIGMOD 2023 organisation. Specifically, the SIGMOD 2023 local organisation chairs will work with workshop chairs individually to handle registration and the way the workshop will be offered. Depending on the final logistics of the SIGMOD 2023, further details will be communicated.
Submission Guidelines
- The following link details the contents expected of a proposal: http://sigmod.org/about-sigmod/sponsorship/conferences-symposia-and-workshops-held-in-cooperation-with-sigmod/
- In addition, the workshop proposals must include the following information:
- The following statistics for the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 editions of the workshop (as applicable) and the expected statistics for 2023:
- number of submissions
- number of accepted papers
- number of registered attendees
- Interest in and attractiveness of each workshop for the database community and possible overlap and comparison with workshops on the same topics in other conferences (even beyond our community).
- Detailed information about handling of Conflicts of Interest. More specifically, this information should include but not be limited to: double-anonymous reviewing or not; whether the workshop accepts submissions by the chairs and their colleagues; how these submissions will be handled; how any other types of COIs are handled (e.g., in the case when the author names aren’t anonymous while reviewing), as well as a very clear definition of COIs.
- Rationale about recruiting the PC of the workshop, for example, diversity considerations (academia/industry, geography, gender, seniority, etc). These criteria should also be taken into account for the choice of the PC Chairs of each workshop.
- Publicity and sponsorship plans.
- Short statement on strategy for carrying out the workshop for both online and on-site participants
- The following statistics for the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 editions of the workshop (as applicable) and the expected statistics for 2023:
Proposal evaluation criteria include the following: relevance to SIGMOD, scientific quality, perceived interest (e.g., previous submission counts), past performance (e.g., publication of the proceedings in the ACM DL), diversity considerations, long-term vision, and overlap with other proposals.
