A quick reminder that the submission deadline for SSDBM 2019 is coming up fast: March 4, 2019.

We are also looking for sponsors:
Call for Sponsors

We are seeking the sponsorship of companies for the 31st International Conference on Scientific and Statistical Database Management (SSDBM 2019) <https://www.soe.ucsc.edu/ssdbm19> to be held at the University of California, Santa Cruz, USA.

The SSDBM international conference brings together scientific domain experts, database researchers, practitioners, and developers for the presentation and exchange of current research results on concepts, tools, and techniques for scientific and statistical database applications. The 31st SSDBM will provide a forum for original research contributions and practical system design, implementation and evaluation, and, for the first time, reproducibility studies of previous publications. The program of the research track will be supplemented with invited talks and demonstrations. SSDBM 2019 will continue the tradition of past SSDBM meetings in providing a stimulating environment to encourage discussion, fellowship and exchange of ideas in all aspects of research related to scientific and statistical data management.

In order to keep registration fees low and attract especially students and young researchers, we would appreciate the financial support of companies and foundations. Sponsors for recent SSDBM conferences include Teradata, SDSC, NSF, Ericsson, and Rasdaman.

We offer the following sponsorship packages:

Bronze Sponsor ($700)

Logo/name as bronze sponsor in all publications and the website
Silver Sponsor ($1,200)

Logo/name as silver sponsor in all publications and the website
Free registration for 1 participant
Gold Sponsor ($2,500)

> SSDBM 2019 will have a focus on high-performance data analysis tools and techniques for large data sets, with a special emphasis on genomics, astrophysics, and high-energy physics. The conference encourages authors to make their experimental results reproducible and include reproducibility experiences in their submissions .

> SUBMISSION GUIDELINES 
> We solicit papers describing original work relevant to the management of scientific and statistical data and not published or under review elsewhere. SSDBM 2019 is single-blind reviewed. Therefore, authors must include their names and affiliations on the first page. SSDBM submissions can be research, reproducibility study, or demo papers: 
> 
> RESEARCH PAPERS (LONG and SHORT): We solicit both full papers (12 pages) and short papers (4 pages). The former tend to be descriptions of complete technical work, while the latter tend to be descriptions of interesting, innovative ideas, which nevertheless require more work to mature. The program committee may decide to accept some full papers as short papers. Full papers will be given a presentation slot in the conference, while short papers will be presented in the form of posters. All papers, regardless of size, will be given an entry in the conference proceedings. Authors may optionally include reproducibility information that allows for automated validation of experimental results (see artifact evaluation criteria). Accepted submissions passing automated validation will earn a prestigious “Results Replicated” Badge in the ACM DL in accordance with ACM’s artifact review and badging policy. 
> 
> NEW! REPRODUCIBILITY STUDY PAPERS: We also call for reproducibility studies (12 pages) that for the first time reproduce experiments from papers previously published in SSDBM or in other peer-reviewed conferences with similar topics of interest (see reproducibility study instructions). Reproducibility study submissions are selected by the same peer-reviewed competitive process as regular research papers, except these submissions must pass automated validation of experimental results (see artifact evaluation criteria). Accepted submissions passing automated validation will earn the prestigious ACM “Results Replicated” Badge and, if the work under study was successfully reproduced, the associated paper will earn the ACM “Results Reproduced” Badge in the ACM DL in accordance with ACM’s artifact review and badging policy. 
> 
> DEMO PAPERS: We solicit demonstration proposals (4 pages) which should provide the motivation for the demonstrated concepts, the information about the technology and the system to be demonstrated (including a system description, functionality and figures when applicable), and should state the significance of the contribution. Selection criteria for the demonstration proposals evaluation include: the novelty, the technical advances and challenges, and the overall practical attractiveness of the demonstrated system. Demo papers will also be given an entry in the conference proceedings. 
> 
> The submission website is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ssdbm19. Submissions are accepted in PDF format using the new ACM proceedings LATEX or Word templates. Authors should use the sigconf proceedings template. Please see instructions at the ACM web site: http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html. If you are encountering any problems using the LATEX templates, please contact acmtexsupport at aptaracorp.com.
