Conference Description:

Call for Papers/Participation/Track Proposals

The annual IDEAS conference is a top international forum for data engineering researchers, practitioners, developers, and
application users to explore revolutionary ideas and results, and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences. We invite participation of all interested in this meeting which provides an insight into original research contributions relating to all aspects of database engineering defined broadly, and particularly
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.
