ICDE Topic Selection & Paper Routing
Evaluates data engineering research fit, defines core primitives, and routes papers among top database venues like ICDE, SIGMOD, and PVLDB.
The ICDE Topic Selection skill guides database researchers and systems engineers in evaluating whether a project fits the IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE). By applying the data-management-primitive test, the skill helps authors verify whether their work advances access methods, query operators, storage mechanisms, or transaction protocols with systems-grade evaluations. It provides strategic routing across the database publication triangle (ICDE, SIGMOD/PACMMOD, and PVLDB), assists in selecting between research and industry tracks, and identifies critical rejection risks before paper drafting begins.
