           LAST CALL FOR PAPERS - COMAD 2005

  11th International Conference on Management of Data (COMAD)
           January 6-8, 2005, Goa, India

             http://comad2005.persistent.co.in

For over a decade, the COMAD Intl. Conf. on Management of Data, modeled
along the lines of ACM SIGMOD, has been the premier database conference
hosted in India. It was held on a close-to-annual basis until December
2000, after which various national and international database events,
including ICDE in March 2003, have been hosted in India. We are now
reviving the COMAD series with COMAD 2005, which will be held at the
International Centre, Goa, India (http://www.internationalcentregoa.com),
from January 6-8, 2005. Goa is among the foremost tourist destinations
in India, attracting an international clientele, due to its wonderful
natural environment, including a variety of exquisite beaches, and a
unique Indo-Portugese cultural flavor.
 
COMAD 2005 will focus on new developments in the principles and
practices related to data management. The conference will bring together
researchers, practitioners, developers and users to present and discuss
emerging trends, concepts, techniques, technologies and experiences in
data management.
 
We solicit original research papers on the theory, specification,
design, and implementation of data and information management systems.
We also encourage case studies and experiences in the design and
implementation of such systems. We invite industrial papers, as well as
proposals for tutorials and panels. The submission instructions are
available at the conference web-site.
 
To ensure wide visibility of material published at the conference, we
plan to make arrangements with ACM SIGMOD for including the proceedings
of the conference in the SIGMOD on-line and CD-ROM archives. Two awards,
for Best Paper and Best Student Paper, will be presented at the
conference.
