IEEE ICDE 2022 Call for Research Papers
The 38th IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE 2022) will be hosted in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia during the week of May 9-12, 2022.
Highlights for ICDE 2022
Topics of Interest
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.
Important Dates
IEEE ICDE 2022 will have two rounds of research paper submissions with each round involving two rounds of reviewing to allow for revisions. Notifications dates are approximate.
All deadlines are 11:59PM PST.
First Round:
Update on Research Paper Track
We have received 360 submissions in the first round for research papers and we are working on finalizing reviewer assignments now. Stay tune!
Second Round:
Notes on Research Papers
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 for the main text plus an unlimited number of pages for the bibliography. No appendix is allowed. Only electronic submissions in PDF format will be considered.
A paper submitted to IEEE ICDE 2022 cannot be under review for any other conference or journal during the entire time it is considered for ICDE 2022, and it must be substantially different from any previously published work. Submissions will be reviewed in a single-blind manner.
All accepted papers will be presented as posters at ICDE 2022, but the PC may decide to select only a subset of the accepted papers for a “conventional” presentation slot during the conference. However, all accepted papers will be treated equally in the conference proceedings, which are the persistent, archival record of the conference.
The best papers (as judged by the ICDE 2022 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 are rejected in the first round of IEEE ICDE 2021 research track are not eligible for re-submission to the second round.
Reviewing Process
Review Quality
Once the reviews are complete, the area chairs will “review the reviews” and work with reviewers to improve the feedback to the authors as much as possible focusing on providing constructive feedback.
Early notifications
Papers that are a clear accept or reject will receive early notification.
Author Feedback
Then the authors will have a few days to read the reviews and submit an optional short rebuttal. The purpose of the rebuttal is to clarify misunderstandings and factual errors through pointers to specific parts in the submitted paper. The authors will also be invited to submit feedback on specifics metrics for the quality of the reviews (this feedback will only be visible to the area chairs and PC chairs).
Revisions
Papers will be invited to submit a revised version of their paper if the PC believes the papers can reasonably improve within the available time-frame. Authors will have one and a half months to prepare their revision. The revision process is intended to be a constructive partnership between reviewers and authors. To this end, reviewers will be instructed to request revisions only in constructive scenarios with specific requests.
Notes
1) Number of reviews: All papers will receive at least three reviews.
2) Number of accepted papers: The number of accepted research papers will not be capped. We will accept all papers meeting the high quality and innovation standards of ICDE.
Inclusion and Diversity in Writing
We value Diversity and Inclusion in our community and professions. Both are important in our writing as well. Be mindful in your writing of not using language or examples that further the marginalization, stereotyping, or erasure of any group of people, especially historically marginalized and/or under-represented groups (URGs) in computing. Also be vigilant and guard against unintentionally exclusionary examples. Reviewers will be empowered to monitor and demand changes if such issues arise. Going further, also consider actively raising the representation of URGs in your writing. Diversity of representation in writing is a simple but visible avenue to celebrate and ultimately help improve our community’s diversity.
Conflict of Interest
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
A paper author has a COI with a PC member when and only when one or more of the following conditions hold:
