2005 ACM SIGMOD Conference
Conflict of Interest

During the submission process authors are asked to identify all and only those Program Committee members with whom any author of the submitted paper has a conflict of interest. Authors bear full responsibility for specifying conflict-of-interest information, and risk automatic rejection if the information is found to be incorrect or incomplete.

A paper author has a conflict of interest with a Program Committee (PC) member when and only when one or more of the following conditions holds:

  1. The PC member has been a collaborator and/or co-author within the past two years.
  2. The PC member has been a co-worker in the same department or lab within the past two years.
  3. The PC member is or was the author's primary advisor, no matter how long ago.
  4. The author is or was the PC member's primary advisor, no matter how long ago.
  5. The PC member is a relative or close personal friend.

The Program Committee members are listed in the Call for Papers.

If you believe there are other conditions causing a PC member to have a conflict of interest with your submitted paper, please do not mark the conflict of interest during submission, but do contact the Program Committee Chair: Jennifer Widom
