31 May - 5 June 2026, The 2026 ACM Symposium on Principles of Database Systems (PODS 2026), Bengaluru, India

Date: 31 May - 5 June 2026
Location: Bengaluru, India
Deadline: Tuesday 3 June 2025

The PODS symposium series, held in conjunction with the SIGMOD conference series, provides a premier annual forum for the communication of new advances in the theoretical foundation of database systems. The PODS community aims to provide a solid scientific basis 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 landscape of data requirements in applications nowadays. Our goal is to develop solutions that ensure high levels of efficiency, scalability, usability, expressiveness, robustness, security, clarity, and privacy, among others. The PODS community is an open space where researchers from various areas related to the principles of computer science can discuss, interact, and propose solutions to problems in data management.

21 - 22 September 2026, 3rd Conference of the European Network for Digital Democracy (EDDY), Vienna [AT]

Date: 21 - 22 September 2026
Location: Vienna [AT]
Deadline: Wednesday 3 June 2026

In recent years, digital democracy has become a subject of academic research and is being put into practice around the world. However, the scientific investigations and practices of digital democracy are currently still living mostly in separate universes. The aim of this conference is to further advance digital democracy, by bringing together academics and practitioners actively working on or with digital democracy. This way we want to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange. 

In line with this aim, the conference will feature contributed talks, social and interactive sessions and both academic and non-academic keynote speakers, such as Manon Revel (Google Deepmind) and Graham Wetherall-Grujic (The Innovation in Politics Institute, Berlin).

For the 3rd EDDY Conference, we welcome contributions from both academics and practitioners on any of the following topics, in relation to digital democracy: online deliberation, liquid democracy, the public sphere, apps and tools for online decision-making, machine learning, crowdsourcing, the digital divide, participatory budgeting, computational social choice, digital identities, social media, popular will, and secrecy vs. publicity of votes and opinions. We particularly welcome submissions by students and early career scholars or practitioners. You can contribute with either a talk or a demo.

The aim is to solicit contributions that, while not primarily situated within theoretical computer science, address substantive theoretical questions emerging from applied research problems. The three special tracks are listed on the website.

Two types of contributions (in English, CEUR-WS format) are solicited.

Regular papers: Up to 12 pages (bibliography excluded), presenting original results not published or submitted elsewhere. Authors may include an appendix; reviewers are not required to consider it.

Communications: Up to 5 pages (bibliography excluded), suitable for extended abstracts of published or submitted papers, ongoing research reports, and PhD thesis or project overviews.
