icde-topic-selection
Use when deciding whether a project is a strong IEEE ICDE fit, routing among the three database venues from ICDE's seat (SIGMOD's quarterly rounds vs PVLDB's monthly deadlines vs ICDE's two rounds), choosing ICDE research vs industry track, applying the data-management-primitive test, and comparing with TKDE, EDBT, or systems venues.

# ICDE Topic Selection
Use this before writing. ICDE is strongest for **data engineering** — the design, building,
management, and evaluation of data-intensive systems — where the contribution is a
reconstructable data-management primitive with a systems-grade evaluation.
## The data-management-primitive test
Ask what primitive the paper advances: an **access method**, a **query operator**, an
**execution or storage mechanism**, a **transaction or concurrency protocol**, a **data
integration/cleaning/provenance technique**, or a **scalable analytics engine**. If no
primitive exists — if the database is merely a container for a result that lives elsewhere —
the ICDE framing does not exist either.
