The 15th COMAD will be held in
December 2009, in Mysore, India - around 100 miles south
of Bangalore. Similar to previous
years, COMAD 2009's scope will include all
areas in the data management space
including database management systems, Web and Information
Retrieval and Data Mining. Original research submissions
are invited not only in traditional
database areas but also in Data Quality, Web,
Information Retrieval and Data Mining. We invite
submission of original research
contributions as well as proposals for
demonstrations, tutorials, industrial
presentations, and panels.
Areas of interest include but are not limited to:
Data Management Systems:
* Benchmarking and performance evaluation
* Data exchange and integration
* Database monitoring and tuning

* IR Theory, Platform, Evaluation
* Question Answering and Cross-Language IR
* Web and IR
* Social Network Analysis
Data Mining
* Novel data mining algorithms and foundations
* Innovative applications of data mining
* Data mining and KDD systems and frameworks
* Mining data streams and sensor data
* Mining multi-media, graph, spatio-temporal and semi-structured
data

To ensure wide visibility of material published at
the conference, we plan
to make arrangements with ACM SIGMOD for including the
proceedings of the conference in the SIGMOD on-line and CD-ROM
archives. Two awards, for Best Paper and Best
Student Paper, will be presented at the conference.
