--------------------------------------------------

We invite you to join us for the 23rd SSDBM Conference in beautiful Portland,
Oregon - mecca for outdoor enthusiasts and aficionados of fine farm-to-table
eating. The conference focuses on concepts, tools, and techniques for
scientific and statistical database applications, bringing together domain
experts, database researchers, practitioners and developers to share new
insights and discuss future research directions. The conference will likely
consist of a single track of presentations, including invited talks,
peer-reviewed papers, system and tool demonstrations, panel discussions,
good food, and an intriguing local excursion.

Paper Submission (submission site now available)

We solicit full papers (up to 18 pages LNCS style) describing original work
relevant to the management of scientific and statistical data and not
published or under review elsewhere. Papers selected after peer review will
be included in the conference proceedings and presented at the conference.
Topics of particular interest include (but are not limited to):

* Modeling and representation of data, metadata, ontologies, and processes,
e.g., array-based data models
* Integration and exchange of data, including the federation and management
of institutional data repositories
* Design, implementation, optimization of scientific workflows
* Cyberinfrastructure for scientific computing and eScience
* Data-intensive and cloud computing
* System architectures in support of scientific and statistical data
management and analysis, e.g., multi-core, GPUs
* Querying of scientific data, including spatial, temporal,
spatio-temporal, and streaming data
* Annotation and provenance of data
* Mining and analysis of large-scale datasets
* Security and privacy
* Visualization and exploration
* Data support, case studies, and applications - particularly for grand
challenge science questions, e.g., sustainability, global climate change

We also invite short papers (up to 9 pages LNCS style) that describe systems
and software or discuss new ideas or early work. Accepted short papers will
be featured in poster-and-demonstration sessions and included in the
proceedings.
