exchange techniques, tools, and experiences.



We invite the submission of original research contributions relating to all

aspects of database engineering defined broadly, and particularly encourage

submissions on topics of emerging interest describing work on integrating

new technologies into products and applications, on experiences with existing

and novel techniques, and on the identification of unsolved challenges.
