The 4th round of SIGMOD 2027 has *659* submissions. This is 2-3x more than previous years! I downloaded the abstracts & compared them against last 10yrs of SIGMOD/VLDB papers. I then evaluated them to see how writing changed since ChatGPT dropped in 2022. Many papers are clearly LLM written.

In 2016, Heidi Howard showed that Paxos’ quorum requirements were in fact over-specified, by introducing Flexible Paxos. Join us at #systemsdistributed to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Flexible Paxos! @heidihoward.bsky.social
