Scope
This
international conference will bring together scientific domain experts,
database researchers, practitioners and developers for the presentation
and exchange of current research on concepts, tools and techniques for
scientific and statistical database applications. The 16th
SSDBM will provide a forum for original research contributions and
practical system design, implementation and evaluation. This year the
conference will focus on the following themes: Spatiotemporal, Sensor
Databases, Bioinformatics (genomics, biodiversity informatics including
biological databases), and Data Mining. The
priority areas will be supplemented with invited talks and panel
sessions, and illustrated demonstrations of research prototypes and
industrial systems. SSDBM 2004 will continue the tradition of past SSDBM
meetings in providing a stimulating environment to encourage discussion,
fellowship and exchange of ideas in all aspects of research related to
scientific and statistical database management in Santorini Island. This
year the conference has been arranged the week after SIGMOD'04 in Paris.
Topics
Research
papers discussing database issues of Spatiotemporal, Sensor Databases,
Bioinformatics, Geological Databases and Data Mining are particularly

any area related to scientific and statistical database
management are invited. Topics include: Conceptual Models, Data
Integration, Visualization, System Architectures, Metadata Management,
Query Optimization, Continuous Queries over Data Streams, Data Reduction
and Approximation, Data Knowledge and Management, Multimedia Data
Management and Data Warehouses.

Papers are uploaded automatically on provision of the file name on your system.
After your paper has been submitted you may edit the information at any time
until the closing date for submissions.
Thereafter your paper will be sent to 3 PC Members for review. When the review
period is finished and the final list of papers for the PC has been selected you
will be notified of the decision after which you will be able to login and
display the reviews for your paper along with the list of accepted papers.
If your paper(s) is accepted for the conference then you must ensure that a
camera ready copy of the paper is uploaded to the system by the specified
deadline.
Stage 3: Camera ready paper (POSTSCRIPT ONLY) Submission
