ICOODB 2010 - 3rd International Conference on Objects and Databases (ICOODB)

We invite submissions of papers detailing original research contributions on any topic related to persistent object life cycle management, persistent object data management, objects and databases, and object oriented persistence technologies. These topics may address issues related to data models and database design, software engineering and application frameworks, database architectures and systems, database languages and theoretical foundations, novel applications. Selected papers will be presented at the conference and the papers published in the conference proceedings (publication details to be provided later).

Topics of Interest
We recognize that the world of data management is changing. The linkage to service platforms, operation within scalable (cloud) platforms, object-relational bindings, NoSQL databases, and new approaches to concurrency control are all becoming hot topics both in academia and industry. We therefore also encourage papers in any of these areas.

General topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
Object Database Modeling and Design
object data models
design of object databases
semantics of object databases
Object Database Frameworks and Software Engineering
application development and application frameworks
software engineering issues
constraint models and mechanisms
event models and mechanisms
object-oriented frameworks for data management
ontologies and object stores
Object Databases
object storage systems
object query languages
transaction management for object databases
access structures and indexing in object databases
distributed object databases
architecture and engineering of object database engines
evaluation of object databases
benchmarks
novel applications of object databases
object databases in education
Integration of Object-Oriented Programming Languages with databases
Integrating objects and databases
Novel design of Programming Languages for objects and database
Object/Relational mappings
Novel design and/or Implementation of O/R Systems.

Submission of Papers
The deadline for submissions is 30 May 2010.
Research papers should be submitted through the online submission system. Papers should be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines and must not be longer than 15 pages. Research papers should be original and the authors should clearly indicate the contributions of the work relative to the state of the art.
ICOODB 2010 conference proceedings will be published by Springer as an LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) volume.
