double-blind at SIGMOD and VLDB

[emeryberger]

Since 2001.
https://sigmodrecord.org/publications/sigmodRecord/0606/p29-inv-article-madden.pdf
"Starting with the 2001 SIGMOD conference, the
SIGMOD Chair, in consultation with the SIGMOD
Advisory Committee, imposed a double blind rule on
all future SIGMOD conferences."

While SIGMOD is double blind, VLDB is not. From http://vldb.org/pvldb/vol15-submission/:

VLDB is a single-blind conference. Therefore, authors MUST include their names and affiliations on the first page of the manuscript.

Thanks, will update!

Great, thanks. Note that the "Historical notes" also needs updating, it still says "SIGMOD and VLDB have been double-blind..."
