Conference Theme

Data management constitutes the essential enabling technology for
scientific, engineering, business, and social communities.
Technological trends, novel applications, and sophisticated
user interactions, they all require robust and flexible database
technology to be deployed in a variety of environments and for
several diverse purposes. Established data management solutions
are challenged by applications aimed at personal information
systems, biomedical informatics, virtual digital libraries, and
virtual communities. Technical leverage of peer-to-peer architectures,
pervasive and ubiquitous computing, and trust management are just a
small sample of the great challenges ahead of us that drive research
and development of the next generation of database technology.
The new information paradigms and requirements will move our research
community away from any narrow interpretation of databases and expand
its focus to the hard problems faced by broad visions of data
information, and knowledge management. Amongst these  the challenges
posed by the Semantic Web and information retrieval are just barely
supported in the database technology today.
Researchers are encouraged to send contributions that pick up on brand
new challenges and explore new and exciting technical directions
wherever data management issues may be found.

Topics of Interest

EDBT 2009 invites submissions of original research contributions, as
well as proposals for panels, tutorials and software demonstrations.
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.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics covered by the
conference:
   Multimedia Databases
   Availability, Reliability, and Scalability
   Benchmarking and Performance Evaluation
   Biological and Medical 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
   Data, Information, and Knowledge Management
   Database Design and Tuning
   Digital Libraries Museums, and Archives
   Heterogeneous Databases and Semantic Interoperability
   Middleware and Workflow Management
   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
   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 2009 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
innovativeness of software and the potential impact of the solution.
Position papers from industry outlining trends and novel research
requirements are also welcome.
