Paper Submission Deadline: 20 November 2009
Notification of Acceptance: 15 December 2009
Camera Ready Copy: 10 January 2010
Workshop: 22 March 2010
Themes and Goals

The theme of the workshop is updates in any data model, with an emphasis on XML and recent models.
Updates issues have always been considered in many different areas of databases, as change is inherent to the lifecycle of databases and their applications. Updates arise in every data model, in many different contexts and situations, and raise numerous issues and problems. Over years, a powerful collection of approaches, concepts, techniques and algorithms has been developed.
However, many problems remain open, new issues arise in recent data models like XML, semi-structured, graph-based, RDF and probabilistic among others, some widely used in practice, and updates have recently known a new gain of interest. This new interest, along with the importance in practice to deal with updates, is the reason for the workshop.
Open problems in general, and new issues in recent models are the focus of the workshop.
The goal of the workshop is also to stimulate discussions on reviewing existing results, possibly w.r.t. new issues, and on the connections between the different topics in update management, as well as on future trends. The workshop aims at bringing together academics, practitioners, users and vendors.

Implementation issues
Update support in systems/products
Effects of updates on applications
Relationships between updates and versions
RDF updates
