The PODS symposium series, held in conjunction with the SIG MOD conference series, provides a premier annual f orum for the communication of new advances in the theoretical foundation of database systems. The PO DS community aims to provide a solid scientific ba sis for methods, techniques, and solutions for the data management challenges that continually arise in our data-driven society. It develops new ways of advancing data management to reflect the rich l andscape of data requirements in applications nowa days. Our goal is to develop solutions that ensure high levels of efficiency, scalability, usability , expressiveness, robustness, security, clarity, a nd privacy, among others. The PODS community is an open space where researchers from various areas r elated to the principles of computer science can d iscuss, interact, and propose solutions to problem s in data management.
\nPODS seeks scientific articles that present principled contributions to modeling, application and system building in the context of data management. Such a rticles might be based, among others, on establish ing theoretical results, developing new concepts a nd frameworks that deserve further exploration, pr oviding experimental work that sheds light on the scientific foundations of the discipline, or a rig orous analysis of important industry artifacts. At a time when computer science is increasingly data -centric, it is essential to promote an active exc hange of tools and techniques between PODS and oth er communities focused on data management. PODS th us pays special attention to those papers that hel p in the urgent process of integrating data manage ment techniques within broader computer science.\n
All submissions must be made to EasyChair. LaTex users must format their submission using th e sta ndard ACM "acmsmall" proceedings stylesh eet. A submission can be up to 15 pages, not i ncluding references, plus unlimited space for refe rences. PODS 2026 will use a lightweight double-an onymous reviewing process.
