The 37th IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE 2021) will be hosted in Chania, Crete, Greece, during the week of April 19-23, 2021. We invite the submission of original research contributions in the following areas. We also welcome any original contributions that may cross the boundaries among areas or point in other novel directions of interest to the database research community:
Following earlier editions of the conference, IEEE ICDE 2021 will have two rounds of research paper submissions, with each round involving two rounds of reviewing to allow for revisions. Papers rejected in the first round are not allowed to be re-submitted in the second round. All notification dates are approximate.
All deadlines are 11:59PM Anywhere on Earth (AoE).
First Round:
Second Round:
All research papers must be submitted through the CMT system
Manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with the IEEE format available at https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
Research papers must not exceed 12 pages, including the bibliography and any appendix. Only electronic submissions in PDF format will be considered. The submission process will be handled electronically — more details will become available on the conference web site shortly.
A paper submitted to IEEE ICDE’2021 cannot be under review for any other conference or journal during the entire time it is considered for ICDE’2021, and it must be substantially different from any previously published work. Submissions will be reviewed in a single-blind manner.
The best papers (as judged by the ICDE’2021 PC) will be selected for extended versions to be published in the IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering (TKDE). IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if none of the authors attends the conference to present their paper.
Submissions that were rejected in the first round of IEEE ICDE’2021 research track are not eligible for re-submission to the second round.
During submission of a research paper, the submission site will request information about Conflicts of Interest (COI) of the paper’s authors with program committee (PC) members. It is the full responsibility of all authors of a paper to identify all (and only) PC members with potential COIs as per the definition provided on the submission site. Papers with incorrect or incomplete COI information as of the submission closing time are subject to immediate rejection.
Definition of Conflict of Interest (COI): A paper author has a COI with a PC member when and only when one or more of the following conditions hold:
Sihem Amer-Yahia (CNRS, Univ. Grenoble Alpes)
Reynold C.K. Cheng (Univ. of Hong Kong)
Ihab Ilyas (Univ. of Waterloo)
