22nd International Conference on
Scientific and Statistical Database Management (SSDBM 2010)

June 30 - July 2, 2010
Heidelberg, Germany

http://www.ssdbm2010.org

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

The SSDBM conference series focuses on concepts, tools, and techniques
for scientific and statistical database applications. The 2010 meeting
marks the 22nd time that scientific domain experts, database
researchers, practitioners and developers will come together to share
new insights and to discuss future research directions in a
stimulating environment. The conference will consist of a single track
of presentations, including invited talks, peer-reviewed papers,
system and tool demonstrations, and panel discussions. The conference
proceedings will be published as a volume in Springer's Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

We solicit full papers (up to 18 pages LNCS style) describing original
work not published or under review elsewhere. Papers selected after
peer review will be included in the conference proceedings and
presented orally at the conference.

Topics of particular interest include (but are not limited to):

* Modeling and representation of data, metadata, ontologies, and
processes for scientific application domains
* Integration and exchange of scientific data
* Design, implementation, and optimization of scientific workflows
* Cyberinfrastructure architectures and components for scientific
computing and eScience, including Web portals, repositories, and
digital libraries
* System architectures in support of scientific data management and
analysis, including distributed, parallel, and Grid architectures
* Management and querying of scientific data, including spatial,
temporal, spatio-temporal, and streaming data
* Annotation and provenance of scientific and statistical data
* Mining and analysis of large-scale scientific datasets
* Security, privacy, and trust for scientific and statistical data
* Visualization and exploration of large-scale scientific datasets
* Case studies and applications related to scientific data management
in all domains

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