EDBT - call for tutorials

EDBT 2010 13th International Conference on Extending Database Technology Call for Tutorials Deadline: September 29, 2009, 12 PM, PST Notification: December 8, 2009 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. Tutorials EDBT 2010 tutorials should to offer conference attendees a stimulating and informative selection of tutorials reflecting current topics. The conference covers a broad range of topics, including traditional database management as well new issues arising in any possible domain. We welcome tutorials 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 Proposals must provide an in-depth survey of the chosen topic with the option of describing a particular piece of work in detail. Proposals must include enough details to provide a sense of both the scope of material to be covered and the depth to which it will be covered. Proposals should also indicate the tutorial length (typically 1.5 or 3 hours; if the tutorial can be either length, please be sure to identify which material is included for each length). Submissions Guidelines Submissions will be electronic. Tutorial proposals should be formatted using the ACM double-column format (templates available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Tutorial proposals are limited to 4 pages. All submissions will be handled using the conference management tool: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=edbt_2010 Tutorial chair: Felix Naumann, Hasso-Plattner-Institute (HPI), Germany naumann@hpi.uni-potsdam.de
