| Introduction
The
EDBT series of conferences is an established and prestigious
forum for the exchange of the latest research results in data
management. Held every two years in an attractive European
location, the conference provides unique opportunities for
database researchers, practitioners, developers, and users
to explore new ideas, techniques, and tools, and to exchange
experiences.
The
previous events were held in Venice, Vienna, Cambridge, Avignon,
Valencia, Konstanz, Prague and Heraklion.
EDBT 2006 will be held in Munich - Germany. |

Conference
Theme
Ever
since its early days, database technology has been challenged and
advanced by new uses and applications and has evolved along with
application requirements and hardware advances. Today's horizons
of the field appear without limits. Technological trends, new computation
paradigms, novel applications, sophisticated user interactions,
they all require robust and flexible database technology to be deployed
in a variety of environments and for several diverse purposes. Peer-to-peer
architectures, the Grid, personal information systems, pervasive
and ubiquitous computing, networked sensors, biomedical informatics,
virtual digital libraries, virtual communities, 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 present environment is a unique opportunity for the field
to move 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. In this spirit, the banner theme chosen
by EDBT 2006 is the following:
"From Database Systems to Universal Data Management"
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
2006 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 topices covered by the conference:
- Ambient
Databases
- Approximation
and Uncertainty
- Audio/Visual
and Multimedia Databases

Submission
EDBT
2006 submissions must be in electronic form using the Portable Document
Format (PDF). All accepted research papers, industry and applications
papers, and demonstration papers will appear in the proceedings
of the conference. For further information regarding this topic,
see Submission Instructions.
Industry and Applications Track
In
addition to the traditional research track, EDBT 2006 will include
sessions most relevant to industry and application as well. For
submission instructions see Call for Industrial
Papers and Applications.
Workshops
EDBT
2006 also plans for a small number of colocated workshops around
the Conference. For further information, see Call
for Workshops.
