Conference Theme

Data management constitutes the essential enabling technology for
scientific, engineering, business, and social communities. Established
data management solutions are challenged by the needs of applications
such as the Semantic Web, the management of scientific data, data
management at Web scale, virtual libraries or embedded databases.

The database community has a longstanding tradition of contributing
with models, algorithms, and architectures, to the set of tools and
applications enabling day-to-day functioning of our societies. Faced
with the broad challenges of today's technologies and applications,
this community constantly broadens its reach, exploiting new hardware
and software tools such as graphic processors, card chips, or
peer-to-peer networks of thousands of machines, to achieve new
innovative results.

Researchers are encouraged to send contributions that advance the
state of the art in data management in the large. We are interested in
contributions concerning models, algorithms, methodology, system
architecture or performance studies.

Topics of Interest

EDBT 2010 invites submissions of original research contributions, as
well as descriptions of industrial and application achievements and
proposals for panels, tutorials and software demonstrations. A separate
call for workshop proposals will follow soon.


The conference covers a broad range of topics, including traditional
database management as well new issues arising in any possible domain.
Prospective authors are encouraged to consider novel topics and
approaches rather than incremental improvements of existing results.

We welcome papers on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
* Availability, Reliability, and Scalability
* Benchmarking and Performance Evaluation
* Biomedical Databases
* Complex Event Processing
* Data Curation, Annotation and Provenance
* Data Models and Query Languages
* Data Streams and Publish-Subscribe Systems
* Data Structures and Indexing
* Data Warehousing, OLAP, and ETL Tools
* Database Design and Tuning
* Digital Libraries, Museums, and Archives
* Heterogeneous Databases and Semantic Interoperability
* Middleware and Workflow Management
* Multimedia Databases
* Parallel, Distributed, P2P and Grid Data Management
* Personalization and Personal Information Systems
* Privacy and Security in trustworthy databases
* Query Processing and Optimization
* Replication, Caching, and Materialized Views
* Semantic Web and Knowledge Databases
* Scientific and Statistical Databases
* Spatial, Temporal, and Geographic Databases
* Text Databases and Information Retrieval
* User Interfaces and Data Visualization
* Web Information and Services
* XML and Semistructured Databases

Demo Papers

Demo proposals should state the technical problem addressed by the
system to be demonstrated, explain its novelty and its contribution.
The proposals should also describe the demonstration scenario, with
sufficient detail so that the demonstration PC can assess the facility
with which conference participants can understand and appreciate the
software demonstration.

Industrial and Applications Papers

The Industry and Applications Track of the EDBT 2010 Conference will
be a forum for high quality presentations on innovative commercial
software and applications for all facets of information technology
with emphasis on database systems, information retrieval systems,
metadata management, information integration and XML. Submissions must
relate to commercial software or applications of research technologies
in practice. Acceptance criteria will be the novelty of software and
the potential impact of the solution. Position papers from industry
outlining trends and novel research requirements are also welcome.
