Call for Research Papers - DASFAA 2026

The 31st International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications (DASFAA 2026), Jeju, South Korea

The International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications (DASFAA) is a leading international forum for discussing cutting-edge research on database systems and advanced applications. DASFAA, a prestigious and well-established conference, offers a platform for technical presentations and discussions among database researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and business. DASFAA 2026 invites high-quality, original, and unpublished submissions that present state-of-the-art R&D activities in database systems and their applications. In particular, as database community researchers are actively engaged in data science/intelligence and AI areas, submissions about those topics are also encouraged in DASFAA 2026.

Submission Guidelines

Paper submission must be in English. All papers will be double-blind reviewed by the Program Committee based on technical quality, relevance to DASFAA, originality, significance, and clarity. All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Any submitted paper violating the length, file type, or formatting requirements will be rejected without review.

Each submitted paper should include an abstract up to 200 words and be no longer than 16 pages (including references, appendices, etc.) in LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) format. We encourage authors to cite related work comprehensively. When citing conference papers, please also consider citing their extended journal versions if applicable. All papers must be submitted electronically through the paper submission system in PDF only.

The submitted papers must not be previously published in a refereed journal or conference and must not be under consideration by any other conference or journal during the DASFAA review process. If the paper is accepted, at least one author must complete the regular registration and attend the conference to present the paper. For no-show authors, their papers will not be included in the proceedings. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

Double-Blind Review Policy

DASFAA 2026 employs a double-blind review process. Authors must anonymize their submissions rigorously to prevent identity disclosure. Avoid self-citations that reveal authorship.

Conflicts of Interest

Authors must declare conflicts of interest (COIs) using the submission management system. Conflicts include recent collaboration, co-authorship, or personal relationships with PC members.

• X and Y have worked in the same university or company in the past two years, or will be doing so in the next six months on account of an accepted job offer. Different campuses within the same university system do not count as the same university for this purpose - UC Berkeley does not have a conflict with UC Santa Barbara.
• X has been a co-author of a paper with Y in the last three years.
• X has been a collaborator within the past two years, as evidenced in a joint publication (subsumed by the stricter rule on co-authorship above), joint research project, or co-organizing events (e.g., co-chairs of conferences), or are collaborating now (including co-authorship on papers not resulted in final publication yet).
• X is the master's/PhD thesis advisor of Y or vice versa, irrespective of how long ago this was.
• X is a relative or close personal friend of Y.

It is the full responsibility of all authors of a paper to identify and declare all COIs with members of the Program Committee (reviewers, meta-reviewers, and PC chairs) prior to the submission deadline. Submissions with undeclared conflicts or spurious conflicts will be desk-rejected.

Acceptance Categories

Full research papers: Presented orally (optional poster).
