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

• Core database technologies (query processing and optimization, concurrency control, etc), as well as non-traditional data management architectures (e.g., data stream management, P2P, replication, and caching).
• Data management applications (e.g., Web mashups, social networks, scientific databases, sensor networks, etc.).
• Models and languages for the management of data (e.g., XML, probabilistic data models, meta-data management, multi-media, etc.).
• Techniques to achieve performance and scalability in the management of data (e.g., indexing, hardware accelerators, etc.).
• Other aspects of modern information systems such as security, privacy, personalization, user interfaces, etc.

The key criterion in judging submissions will be technical importance and depth, where novelty is secondary.
