[hpc-announce] CFP for the 14th International Workshop on Self-Managing Database Systems (SMDB 2023)

[Demetris Trihinas]

Dear Colleagues,

I am announcing the 14th International Workshop on Self-Managing Database Systems (SMDB 2023)

Co-located with ICDE 2023 Anaheim, California, USA

The aim of the SMDB workshop is to provide a forum for researchers from both industry and
academia to present and discuss ideas related to self-management and self-organization in
data management systems ranging from classical databases to data stream engines to large-scale
cloud environments that utilize advanced AI, machine learning, and data mining and analysis.

**Important Dates**

**Submission Guidelines**

Submission Site: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SMDB2023

Authors are invited to submit original research contributions in English of up to 6 pages in
the IEEE camera-ready format (templates are available at the ICDE 2023 submission guidelines page)
to the submission site. Authors of accepted papers will be encouraged to submit an extended
paper of up to 8 pages for final publication. Author are also invited to submit short papers up to
4 pages. The page limit includes the bibliography and any appendix. All accepted papers will appear
in the formal Proceedings of the Conference Workshops published by IEEE CS Press, and will be
included in the IEEE digital library.

Authors of a selection of accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version to the
Distributed and Parallel Databases (DAPD) journal.

    * Automated physical database design and adaptive query tuning
    * Automated provisioning and integration
    * Automatic enforcement of information quality
    * Robust query processing techniques
    * Self-managing database components (e.g., query optimizer, execution engine)
    * Self-managing data stream engines and adaptive event-based systems
    * Self-managing distributed / decentralized / peer-to-peer information systems
    * Self-management of internet-scale distributed systems
    * Self-management for big data infrastructures
    * Monitoring and diagnostics in data management systems
