Scope

The SSDBM international conference will bring together scientific domain experts, database researchers, practitioners and developer for the presentation and exchange of current research on concepts, tools and techniques for scientific and statistical database applications. The 24th SSDBM will provide a forum for original research contributions and practical system design, implementation and evaluation. The rich program of the research track will be supplemented with invited talks and panel sessions, as well as illustrated demonstrations of research prototypes and industrial systems.

SSDBM 2012 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 beautiful Chania, Crete.

Topics

We solicit full papers (up to 18 pages LNCS style) describing original work relevant to the management of scientific and statistical data and not published or under review elsewhere. Papers selected after peer review will be included in the conference proceedings and presented at the conference. Topics of particular interest include (but are not limited to):

• Modeling and representation of data, metadata, ontologies, and processes, e.g., array-based data models
• Integration and exchange of data, including the federation and management of institutional data repositories
• Design, implementation, optimization of scientific workflows
• Cyberinfrastructure for scientific computing and eScience
• Data-intensive and cloud computing
• System architectures in support of scientific and statistical data management and analysis, e.g., multi-core, GPUs
• Querying of scientific data, including spatial, temporal, spatio-temporal, and streaming data
• Annotation and provenance of data
• Mining and analysis of large-scale datasets
• Security and privacy
• Visualization and exploration
• Data support, case studies, and applications – particularly for grand challenge science questions, e.g., sustainability, global climate change

We also invite short papers (up to 9 pages LNCS style) that describe systems and software or discuss new ideas or early work. Accepted short papers will be featured in poster-and-demonstration sessions and included in the proceedings.
