guidelines, which can be found at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. Templates
are available in Word, WordPerfect, and LaTeX (versions 2.09 and
2e). For the LaTeX formats, you may use either the standard style or
the SIG-alternate style. It is not permissible to change the
template's font size, margins, inter-column spacing, or line spacing,
etc. If the authors believe more details are necessary to substantiate
the main claims of the paper, they may also include a clearly marked
appendix to be read at the discretion of the committee. Papers not
conforming to these requirements may be rejected without further
consideration. The deadline for abstract submission is August 17,
2012 and the deadline for paper submission is August 24, 2012.

expected to sign copyright release forms. One author of each accepted
paper will be expected to present it at the conference. The
proceedings will appear in the ACM International Conference
Proceedings Series (pending approval).


--------------------------------------------------
Awards
--------------------------------------------------
An award will be given to the best paper. Also, an award will be given
to the best paper written by newcomers to the field of database
theory. The latter award will preferentially be given to a paper
written only by students; in that case the award will be called "Best
Student Paper Award." The program committee reserves the following
rights: not to give an award; to split an award among several papers;
and to define the notion of a newcomer. Papers authored or co-authored
by Program Committee members are not eligible for any award.
