The annual ACM SIGMOD conference is a leading international forum for database researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore cutting-edge ideas and results, and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences. We invite the submission of original research contributions. We encourage submissions relating to all aspects of data management defined broadly, and particularly encourage work on topics of emerging interest in the research and development communities.

General areas of interests include, but are not limited to the following topics:

New data management architectures, distributed data management (e.g., data stream management, P2P, replication, and cloud)
Data management applications (e.g., Web services and mashups, social networks scientific databases, sensor networks, decision-making and analytics)
