Database Theory Column Report on PODS 2018

The 37th edition of the ACM SIGMOD-SIGACT-SIGAI Symposium on Principles of Database Systems (PODS) took place from June 11 to June 13, 2018, in Houston, Texas, USA. As in previous years, the symposium was held jointly with the ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data (SIGMOD). PODS focuses on theoretical aspects of data management systems and techniques, and the co-location with SIGMOD stimulates interaction between theory-oriented and system-oriented research.
