ICDE 2009

Data Engineering refers to the use of engineering techniques and methodologies in the design, development and assessment of information systems for different computing platforms and application environments. The 25th International Conference on Data Engineering provides a premier forum for sharing and exchanging research and engineering results to problems encountered in today's information society.

Authors are invited to submit papers in all areas of data and information engineering, including but not limited to those listed in the table below. We especially encourage submissions that make efforts (1) to expose practitioners to the most recent research results, tools, and practices that can contribute to their everyday practical problems and to provide them with an early opportunity to evaluate them; (2) to raise awareness in the research community of the difficult data & information engineering problems that arise in practice; (3) to promote the exchange of data & information engineering technologies and experiences among researchers and practitioners; and (4) to identify new issues and directions for future research and development in the data & information engineering field.

Awards:
An award will be given to the best paper submitted to the conference. A separate award will be given to the best student paper. Papers eligible for this award must have a (graduate or undergraduate) student listed as the first and contact author, and the majority of the authors must be students. Such submissions must be marked as student papers at the time of submission.
