BNCOD 2013 - 29th British National Conference on Databases

BNCOD 2013 welcomes research papers on a broad range of topics related to data-centric computation. For some years, every edition of BNCOD has centred around a main theme, acting as a focal point for keynote addresses, tutorials, and research papers. The theme of BNCOD 2013 will be “Big Data”; it encompases a growing need to manage data that is too big, too fast, or too hard for the existing technology [1].
The topics listed below are intended as a sample; we encourage submissions on all data-centric topics.
Systems for Data Management: data system architecture; storage, replication and consistency; physical representations; query and dataflow processin
Scalable Data Analysis: complex queries and search; approximate querying; scalable statistical methods; management of uncertainty and reasoning at scale; data privacy and security; data mining and knowledge discovery
Management of Very Large Data Systems: availability; adaptivity and self-tuning; power management; virtualization
Data Models and Languages: XML and semi-structured data; multi-media, temporal and spatial data; data streams; declarative languages; language interfaces for databases
Domain-Specific Data Management: methods and systems for science; networks and mobility; ubiquitous computing; sensor databases
Management of Web and Heterogeneous Data: information extraction; information integration; meta-data management; data cleaning; service oriented architectures
User Interfaces and Social Data: data visualization; collaborative data analysis and curation; social networks; email and messaging analytics
Data and Knowledge: Knowledge base management, reasoning over incomplete and/or inconsistent data, ontology-based data access, ontology querying, semantic query optimization, storing and manipulating RDF data.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The conference management tool for the submission of abstracts and papers is accessible at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bncod20...
Full papers (from 12 to 14 pages), short papers (from 4 to 10 pages), system descriptions and demonstrations (from 4 to 10 pages) may be submitted.
As in previous years, papers will be published by Springer as a volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Accepted papers will only be published if they are presented in person by a registered author at the conference.
Submissions are reviewed in a single-blind manner. They must be in PDF and formatted according to the Springer guidelines for the LNCS series:
