Call for Papers
BACKGROUND:
The ICOODB 2008 is the First International Conference on Object
Databases
and Object Database Management Systems (ODBMS) in this century and it
takes
place in Berlin, Germany on March 13 and 14.
It is a unique op****tunity for scientists, industry, developers and
students to meet in person and exchange insights on object databases.
This conference addresses people who are interested in object
databases,
innovative ways to bring objects and databases together and
alternatives / extensions to relational databases and O/R mappers.
The conference is organized by an independent research committee and
sup****ted by ODBMS.org, ODBMS Vendors, and the TFH-Berlin. The
conference
will take place at the University of Applied Sciences TFH-Berlin and
will
be opened with several keynotes in the famous Beuth Hall. The event
takes place
on Thursday and Friday, so you can use the weekend to enjoy Berlin
after the conference. We have already lined up a host of speakers
to represent all facets of the industry, including Christof Wittig
(db4objects),
Robert Grene (Versant), Mike Card (OMG), Leon Gudzenda (Objectivity),
Roberto Zicari (ODBMS.org / Univ. Frankf.), Carsten Czarski (Oracle
Inc.),
Kazimierz Subieta, Ralf Westphal, Carl Rosenberger, and more.
Object Databases are the right choice for certain types of
application. They can
save developers cost and time and help them to build more feature rich
OO applications. In this way they enrich the database space that is
sometimes seen as being entirely filled by relational databases and O/
R
mappers. Thus one of the purposes of this conference is to sup****t a
better
understanding of where and why to use an ODBMS. In this spirit we
would like to
invite you to join this conference, propose a paper or a talk, show a
poster
or simply visit or get in touch with us. If you are interested in this
topic in general visit odbms.org and read the expert articles or
browse
the free section containing lecture notes, tutorials, articles and
more.
Topics of interest in the tracks include, but are not limited to:
* Object Database Research
* Comparison of Object Databases and Relational Technologies
(Mappers / EJB & JPA / LINQ / etc.)
* Object Databases in the Industry / Case Studies
(energy / biology / mobile / automotive / manufacturing /...)
* Object Database Products
* Object Databases and Performance
* Object Databases and Query Languages
* Object Database Architectures and Patterns
* Object Databases in Embedded Systems
* Object Databases in High Available or Scalable Systems
