CALL FOR PAPERS
IV THE ALBERTO MENDELZON WORKSHOP ON FOUNDATIONS OF DATA MANAGEMENT

May 17--20, 2010, Buenos Aires, Argentina
http://www-2.dc.uba.ar/amw2010/

The "IV Alberto Mendelzon International Workshop on Foundations of Data
Management" 
(AMW 2010) will be held at the Faculty of Engeneering of the 
University of Buenos Aires, 
Buenos Aires, Argentina, between May 17-20, 
2010. This will be the second open version 
of the workshop, of which 
there were three previous versions before, in Laguna San Rafael, 
Chile, 
November 2006 (http://grupoweb.upf.es/bd-web/), Punta del Este, Uruguay, 
November 2007 (http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/grupos/csi/AMW07/), and 
Arequipa, Peru, 
May 2009 (http://db.cs.ualberta.ca/amw09/).

This is an initiative of the Latin American community of researchers in 
data management, to which 
our friend, colleague and mentor Alberto so 
greatly contributed. In this way we expect to create 
a periodical Latin 
America-based venue for high level research in the fundamental aspects of 
the area. 
This is a way to honor the memory of Alberto, and to increment 
and solidify the research in the region. 
This event, as the previous ones, 
encourages the participation of Latin American graduate students and 
develops 
some activities specially designed for them.

We have chosen a very interesting and attractive 
location: Buenos Aires 
is the beautiful, cosmopolitan capital of Argentina and offers many 
touristic 
attractions. But more importantly, we want to offer an exciting
  scientific atmosphere, and receive high 
level research contributions.

We solicit original submissions on foundational aspects of the following 
topics (among possibly others) 
of data management: algorithms, complexity, 
computational model theory, concurrency, constraints, data 
exchange, 
data integration, data mining, data modeling, data management on the Web, 
data streams, data 
warehouses, distributed databases, information retrieval, 
knowledge bases, logic, multimedia, physical 
design, privacy, quantitative 
approaches, query languages, query optimization, real-time data, recovery,
scientific data, security, semi-structured data, spatial data, temporal data,
  transactions, updates, views, 
workflows, and XML.

Paper submissions must be in electronic form using Portable Document Format 
(.pdf).  Papers should be formatted according to the Springer LaTeX2e style 
llncs for Lecture Notes in Computer 
Science, which is available at 
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The length should not 
exceed 12 pages. Papers longer than 12 pages risk rejection without consideration of their merits. 
Submissions should be made through the EasyChair system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=amw2010. 
The AMW 2010 proceedings 
will be published as part of the CEUR proceedings series and indexed by DBLP.

Important Dates: 
Paper submission: February 15, 2010 
Notification: March 19, 2010
Workshop starts: May 17, 2010

The submissions will be judged for scientific quality and relevance. At least 
one author of each accepted 
paper must attend the workshop to present the work. 
The submission process will be through the Web only.
