23rd International Database Engineering & Applications Symposium

IDEAS 2019


Data Mining & Analysis Databases & Information Systems



Call for Papers/Participation/Track Proposals
The annual IDEAS conference is a top international forum for data engineering researchers, practitioners, developers, and application users to explore revolutionary ideas and results, and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences. We invite participation of all interested in this meeting which provides an insight into original research contributions relating to all aspects of database engineering defined broadly, and particularly topics of emerging interest describing work on integrating new technologies into products and applications, on experiences with existing and novel techniques, and on the identification of unsolved challenges.
Track (Targeted Session) Proposals
As in the past, IDEAS 2019 will include tracks (Targeted Session) on current topics of interest to the community. This year, we would be organizing several; some of which are proposed below. These special tracks/themes will form part of the program along with the main event:
