ICDT Topic Selection
Evaluates and routes database theory research papers to ICDT, PODS, EDBT, TCS venues, or academic journals based on theoretical scope and conference deadlines.
ICDT Topic Selection assists database theory researchers in determining whether their research project aligns with the International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT) or should be routed to PODS, EDBT, pure TCS venues (LICS, ICALP, STACS), or archival journals like ACM TODS and LMCS. It provides actionable diagnostic tests—such as the PODS-swap test and the Consequence test—to verify whether a theorem has genuine data-management implications, assesses upper and lower bound expectations, and helps authors make informed submission decisions based on publication models and conference cycle calendars.
