International Database Engineering & Applications Symposium

Montreal, QC, CANADA, 16-18 August 2010


CALL FOR PAPERS

The aim of the IDEAS series of symposiums is to address the
engineering and application aspects of databases.

IDEAS series of symposiums are scheduled annually and have been held
since 1997 in North America, Europe and Asia and has attracted
participants from governmental and non-governmental agencies,
industries, and academia.

IDEAS'10 invites quality papers describing original research and new
findings on technological and theoretical aspects of database
engineering and applications. In particular, we welcome submissions
describing work on integrating new technologies into products and
applications, on experiences with existing and novel techniques, and
on the identification of unsolved challenges. We consider this
symposium to be an important forum to discuss experiences in applying
databases to actual situations. Authors are invited to submit papers
in English, reporting recent research in the area of databases,
applications, experience in related fields. While research papers
should report original research work, experience and application
papers should describe the development and operations of challenging
database related systems and applications.

The symposium plans to have focused sessions in the following areas:

* Core databases technology
* Query processing and optimization
* Databases and XML
* Data models and languages
* Data quality, integration, exchange and warehousing
* Knowledge Discovery, Data and Process mining
* Databases for e-commerce, e-governance, and other e-applications
* Bio-medical, life science and medical databases
* Privacy and security issues
* Semantic Web and Web 2.0 vs. databases
* P2P and Networked Data Management
* Stream Databases
* Emerging database technologies
