Additional details may be included in an appendix, which, however, will be read at the discretion of the program committee. Papers longer than ten pages or in font size smaller than 10pt risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
The web site for paper submission is now open. You can access the
site via the conference web site at

The results must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere, including the proceedings of other symposia or workshops. All authors of accepted papers will be expected to sign copyright release forms. One author of each accepted paper will be expected to present it at the conference.
Awards:
Best Paper Award: An award will be given to the best submission, as judged by the program committee.
Best Newcomer Award: There will also be an award for the best submission, as judged by the program committee, written solely by authors who have never published in earlier PODS proceedings.
The program committee reserves the right to give both awards to the same paper, not to give an award, or to split an award among several papers. Papers authored or co-authored by PC members are not eligible for an award.
