Use when reasoning about how an ICDT (International Conference on Database Theory) submission is evaluated, covering the two-submission-cycle model, the first-cycle revision (Accept / Revise / Reject) decision, anonymous review since 2024, the cross-cycle resubmission restriction, proof-correctness scrutiny by a database-theory PC, and how ICDT's process differs from PODS and from the co-located EDBT systems track.

# ICDT Review Process

Model the pipeline before interpreting any single review. ICDT's process is built around **two
submission cycles per year** and a **first-cycle revision option**, and the reviewing bar is
**proof correctness**: the referees are database theorists who will check the argument, not just
weigh the idea. The most consequential mental shift for authors arriving from a systems venue is
that a wrong or incomplete proof is not a "revise" — it is often a reject, because the contribution
*is* the theorem.

## Process model

- Submission and review run on **Microsoft CMT** with **anonymous** review (regular track, since
  2024): the PC does not see author identities.
- Each cycle has an **abstract deadline** then a **paper deadline** about a week later; the PC bids
