pods-related-work

Use when positioning an ACM PODS submission against the database-theory literature across PODS, ICDT, LICS, and the journals (TODS, LMCS, JACM, VLDBJ), writing delta-first contrast that compares results rather than cataloging citations, keeping self-citations double-anonymous, and handling concurrent, arXiv-preprint, and prior-version overlap.

# PODS Related Work

Use this to audit novelty and eligibility. PODS reviewers are close to the database-theory literature
and expect to see exactly where your **result** sits relative to the nearest prior **result** — a
comparison of theorems, not a list of papers. Reopen the current PODS call for the resubmission,
anonymity, and prior-publication rules before advising authors.

## Positioning checks

- **Separate the mathematical novelty from the effort.** What is new: a bound that was open, a
  dichotomy that completes a partial classification, a semantics nobody had defined, a lower bound
  matching a known upper bound? Name the theorem-level delta.
- **Cover the theory lanes.** PODS reviewers expect the database-theory venues *and* the relevant
  logic/complexity literature, not only the papers nearest your technique (see the table). A
