Call for Papers

11th International Symposium on Database Programming Languages (DBPL
2007)

http://dcc.puc.cl/dbpl07/

Collocated with VLDB 2007

Vienna, Austria. September 23-24, 2007.


The 11th Biennial Symposium on Data Base Programming Languages (DBPL
2007) to be held on September 23-24, 2007, in Vienna, Austria,
continues the tradition of excellence initiated by its predecessors in
Roscoff, Finistere (1987), Salishan, Oregon (1989), Nafplion, Argolida
(1991), Manhattan, New York (1993), Gubbio, Umbria (1995), Estes Park,
Colorado (1997), Kinloch Rannoch, Scotland (1999), Marino, Rome
(2001), Potsdam, Germany (2003) and Trondheim, Norway (2005).

Over the years DBPL has established itself as the main venue for
publishing and discussing new ideas at the intersection of database
and programming languages research. Many key contributions in query
languages for object-oriented data, persistent databases, nested
relational data, semistructured data, as well as fundamental ideas in
types for query languages have been first announced and discussed at
DBPL. Today's emergence of new data management applications like Web
services, XML processing, sensor networks and peer to peer data
management has lead to a new flurry of creativity in the area lying at
the intersection of data management and programming languages, and
DBPL is an established destination for such new ideas.

DBPL 2007 solicits theoretical and practical papers in all areas of
Data Base Programming Languages. Papers emphasizing new topics or
foundations of emerging areas are especially welcome. Suggested, but
not exclusive, topics of interest for submissions include:

* Data exchange
* Data integration and interoperability
* Databases and information retrieval
* Databases and the Semantic Web
* Database languages in Bioinformatics
* Databases in computational linguistics
* Managing uncertain and imprecise information
* Programming language support for databases
* Databases in e-commerce
* Multimedia databases
* Peer-to-peer data management
* Stream data processing
* Schema mapping and metadata management
* Security in data management
* Semi-structured data
* Spatial and temporal data
* Transaction management
* Validation, type-checking
* Web services
* XML processing


Submission guidelines:

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers in English
presenting original research. Submitted papers must be unpublished and
not submitted for publication elsewhere. The proceedings will be
published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science
series. Submissions should be no more than 15 pages long in the format
specified by Springer-Verlag at the URL www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Papers longer than 15 pages risk rejection without consideration of
their
merits.

It is recommended that each submission begins with a succinct
statement of the problem and a summary of the main results. If the
authors believe more details are necessary to substantiate the main
claims of the paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix to be
read at the discretion of the committee. E-mail addresses of the
authors should be included on the title page. At least one author of
each accepted paper must attend the symposium to present their work.
