Currently at its eighteenth edition, SEBD is the major annual event of the Italian research community in the database field. The symposium is thought as a gathering forum to meet, discuss and exchange experiences among all those, both in the academy and industry, who are interested in database systems and in all their broad range of applications.

The 2010 edition of the SEBD Symposium will take place in Rimini, Italy, from the 20th to the 23rd of June 2010.

Submission Instructions

SEBD 2010 invites submissions of research, industry and application contributions as well as software demonstrations. Research papers, describing original ideas on the fundamental aspects of all forms of database systems and technology, are solicited. Moreover, extended abstract containing descriptions of on-going projects or presenting results already published are also welcome. Research papers presenting original works should be at most 12 pages long whereas extended abstract should be at most 8 pages long. Papers must be written in English. In order to allow a meaningful assignment of your paper to the most suitable reviewers, it is important that you indicate the content of the paper with a suitable set of keywords from the provided list.
