DBPL solicits practical and theoretical papers in all topics at the intersection of databases and programming languages. Papers emphasizing new topics or emerging areas are especially welcome. Suggested, but not exclusive, topics of interest for submissions include:
Language-Integrated Query Mechanisms
Emerging and Nontraditional Data Models (e.g., graph and tensor data models)
Compiling Query Languages to Modern Hardware
Data-Centric Programming Abstractions, Comprehensions, Monads
Data Integration, Exchange, and Interoperability
Data Synchronization and Bidirectional Transformations
Declarative Data Centers (e.g., distributed query processing, serverless computing platforms, social computing platforms, etc)
Language-Based Security in Data Management
Managing Uncertain and Imprecise Information
Metaprogramming and Heterogeneous Staged Computation
Programming Language Support for Data-Centric Programming (e.g., databases, web programming, machine learning, etc)
Query Compilation and In-memory Databases
Query Language Design and Implementation
Query Transformation and Optimization
Schema Mapping and Metadata Management
Semantics and Verification of Database Systems
Stream Data Processing and Query Languages
Type and Effect Systems for Data-Centric Programming
Applications of Query and Database Programming Languages (e.g., program analysis and declarative networking)
Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers in English presenting original research. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere.
Regular submissions should be no more than 10 pages long using the ACM Standard proceedings template.
Extended abstracts of at most 2 pages or short papers of at most 4 pages using the ACM Standard proceedings template describing work in progress, demos, research challenges or visions are also welcome. Accepted extended abstracts and short papers may be included or excluded from the formal proceedings, whichever the author(s) prefer.
To use the ACM Standard proceedings template in LaTeX, set \documentclass[sigconf]{acmart}.
The review process is single-anonymous, so authors do not need to anonymize their submissions. PC submissions are allowed, except for the co-chairs.
Each submission should begin with a succinct statement of the problem and a summary of the main results. Authors may provide more details to substantiate the main claims of the paper by including a clearly marked appendix at the end of the submission, which is not included in the page limit and is read at the discretion of the committee.
At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the symposium to present their work.
Paper submission (extended): April 11, 2025 (AoE)
Notification of acceptance: May 12, 2025
Camera-ready copies: June 5, 2025
Workshop: June 27, 2025
