Call for Papers


The Web is rapidly evolving into a ubiquitous computing platform for a new generation of information systems. Increasingly, Web applications strive to manage data, documents or application services, spread worldwide and accessed through diverse devices from heterogeneous environments. The requirements of these applications as well as emerging technologies, such as the Semantic Web and Web services, have created new challenges and opportunities for database technology. This new landscape has compelled the database community to revisit its approach to data models, query languages, storage support, query optimization, as well as, data and application services integration. It also demands that database research further interact with information retrieval, programming languages, artificial intelligence, distributed computing, workflows, and other areas of Computer Science.

The WebDB workshop focuses on promoting novel research directions and providing a forum where researchers, theoreticians, and practitioners can share their knowledge and opinions about problems and solutions at the intersection of data management and the Web.
