Call for Papers
COMAD 2009 calls for submission of PhD Workshop papers on topics
related to the broad area of Data Management. The purpose of this
workshop is to provide a platform wherein students already
registered/planning to register for PhD can present their ideas before
experts and peers in the field and get feedback from them for their
work.
We particularly encourage submissions from students who are in
the final stages of their doctoral work, and who can therefore present
a more "complete" story about their thesis, as well as students who are
in the beginning stages of their work and thus have a significant
"future work" component. The former category will have the opportunity
to showcase theses to a wider audience in preparation for a job search,
whereas the latter can obtain valuable feedback about their upcoming
research plans.

Papers are invited on topics including, but not limited to:
Benchmarking and performance evaluation
Data exchange and integration
Data quality, cleaning and lineage
