Data, Data Everywhere

Call for Papers

The theme of BNCOD 2007 is Data, Data, Everywhere. The role of databases has changed dramatically in the last ten years. Database systems developed to manage either enterprise wide data accessed through a client-server architecture or smaller data intensive tasks through desktop applications. Now data held in databases permeate the globally connected computing infrastructure and are accessed through a variety of network architectures. Database applications have grown in variety and complexity, while issues such as security, integrity and query processing have thrown up new challenges. Finally, the representation of data has changed through the immergence of XML to describe both stored and transmitted data.

Papers are threfore sought in all areas related to the use of databases, but with particular emphasis on issues concerned with data used by distributed, ubiquitous and heterogeneous software systems. The following topics are therefore of particular interest:

Data integration and interoperability
Data management for ubiquitous and mobile computing
Data mining and information extraction
Data modelling and architectures
Data provenance
Data security, privacy and trust
Data streaming
Databases and the grid
Distributed information systems
Electronic commerce
