ICDT is a series of international scientific conferences on research of data management theory (https://databasetheory.org/icdt-pages.). Since 2009, it is annually and jointly held with EDBT, the International Conference on Extending Database Technology.

The 27th edition of ICDT is planned to take place in Paestum, Italy.

Topics of Interest

We welcome research papers on *every* topic related to the principles and theory of data management, provided that there is a clear connection to foundational aspects. This includes, for example, articles on "classical" data management topics such as:

    The design and study of data models and query languages
    The development and analysis of algorithms for data management
    The theoretical investigation of various aspects underlying data management systems (indexes, concurrency, distributed computation, privacy and security, ...)

but also includes papers exploring existing or identifying new connections between data management and other areas, such as the areas of:

    knowledge representation, semantic web
    information retrieval and data mining
    machine learning/AI
    distributed computing
    theoretical computer science.

In all of the above, a clear emphasis on foundational aspects is expected. You may want to check https://dblp.org/db/conf/icdt/index.html to get an overview of previous editions of ICDT. The Program Committee reserves the right to desk reject a submission when it is regarded to be out of scope.
