The Industrial, Applications, and Experience Track covers innovative commercial data management systems, innovative commercial applications of database technology, and experience in applying recent research advances to real-world problems. It includes both consumer and enterprise data management problems and the crossover between the two. We are particularly interested in submissions in the following areas:

• Advanced Analytics
• Big Data
• Cloud Computing
• Context-Aware Computing
• Mobile Data Management
• New Hardware Trends
• Self-Managing Systems
• Social Networking
• Software as a Service
• Web Data Management

We will accept full papers (up to 12 pages) and abstracts (2 pages). Unlike the VLDB'13 research track submission (which is through PVLDB), the industrial track follows the traditional submission process. Industrial track submissions must be submitted electronically, in pdf format, by March 31, 2013 (5am PST) using the Conference Management Tool. When creating a new paper submission, you will be given the option to choose a track. Choose the "Industrial" track for your industrial paper submission. Submissions must be submitted in camera-ready format using the PVLDB formatting instructions. The conference management tool is accessible at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/VLDB2013/.
