Data Engineering deals with the use of engineering techniques and methodo-
logies in the design, development and assessment of information systems for 
different computing platforms and application environments. The 20th Inter-
national Conference on Data Engineering will be held in Boston, Massachusetts, 
USA -- an academic and technological center with a variety of historical and 
cultural attractions of international prominence within walking distance.
