The 13th International Symposium on Database Programming Languages http://www.cs.cornell.edu/conferences/dbpl2011 Seattle, Washington, USA August 29, 2011 co-located with VLDB 2011 Call for Papers For over 20 years, DBPL has established itself as the principal venue for publishing and discussing new ideas at the intersection of databases and programming languages. 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 were first announced at DBPL. Today, the emergence of new data management applications such as Semantic Web and Web services, XML processing, Social and Sensor Networks, Cloud Computing and Peer-to-peer data management has lead to a new flurry of creative research in this area. DBPL is an established destination for such new ideas. ----- SCOPE ----- DBPL solicits theoretical and practical papers in all areas of Database 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 * Databases and Social Networking * Databases and Cloud Computing * Databases in Bioinformatics * Databases in Computational Linguistics * Declarative Data Centers * Dependent Type Systems * Information-Flow Type Systems * Managing Uncertain and Imprecise Information * Language-Integrated Query Mechanisms * Programming Language Support for Databases * Databases in E-commerce * Multimedia Databases * Peer-to-peer Data Management * Provenance * 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 ----------------- AUTHOR GUIDELINES ----------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in English presenting original research. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions should be no more than 6 pages long in the standard ACM SIG proceedings format with two columns and a nine-point font on a ten-point baseline. It is recommended that each submission begin 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. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the symposium to present their work. Papers must be submitted online at the following URL: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/DBPL2011/Default.aspx --------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Submission : June 8, 2011 (11:59pm EDT) Notification : July 16, 2011 DBPL 2011 : August 29, 2011 ----------- PROCEEDINGS ----------- Accepted papers will appear in an informal proceedings, distributed electronically from the symposium website. ----------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE ----------------- Nate Foster, Cornell University (Co-chair) Anastasios Kementsietsidis, IBM Research (Co-chair) Yanif Ahmad, Johns Hopkins Gavin Bierman, MSR-Cambridge Martin Bravenboer, LogicBlox Songyun Duan, IBM Research Floris Geerts, Edinburgh Pierre Geneves, CNRS Giorgio Ghelli, Universita di Pisa Todd Green, UC Davis Fritz Henglein, DIKU Feifei Li, Florida State Lipyeow Lim, Hawaii Sam Lindley, Edinburgh Kim Nguyen, NICTA Jorge Perez, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile Dimitris Theodoratos, NJIT Yannis Velegrakis, Trento ------- HISTORY ------- The 13th Symposium on Data Base Programming Languages (DBPL 2011) 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), Trondheim, Norway (2005), Vienna, Austria (2007), and Lyon, France (2009).
