(B                                
(B                                     Sponsored by the IEEE Computer
(BSociety
(B
(BData Engineering deals with the use of engineering techniques and
(Bmethodologies
(Bin the design, development and assessment of information systems for
(Bdifferent 
(Bcomputing platforms and application environments. The 23rd International 
(BConference on Data Engineering provides a premier forum for sharing and 
(Bexchanging research and engineering results to problems encountered in
(Btoday's 
(Binformation society.
(B
(BWe especially encourage submissions that make efforts (1) to expose 
(Bpractitioners to how the research results and tools can contribute to
(Btheir 
(Beveryday problems in practice and to provide them with an early
(Bopportunity to 
(Bevaluate these tools; (2) to raise awareness in the research community
(Bof the 
(Bproblems of practical applications of data engineering and to promote
(Bthe 
(Bexchange of data engineering technologies and experience among
(Bresearchers and 
(Bpractitioners; (3) to identify new issues and directions for future
(Bresearch 
(Band development in the data engineering field. 
(B
(BAWARDS 
(BAn award will be given to the best paper. A separate award will be given
(Bto 
(Bthe best student paper. Papers eligible for this award must have a
(B(graduate 
(Bor undergraduate) student listed as the first and contact author, and
(Bthe 
(Bmajority of the authors must be students. Such submissions must be
(Bmarked as 
(Bstudent papers at the time of submission.
(B
(BINDUSTRIAL PROGRAM 
(BThe conference will include an industrial track for high quality papers
(Band presentations on innovative  commercial software for all facets of
(Binformation technology, which include novel applications of database and
(Binformation retrieval technologies, experiences in applying recent
(Bresearch
(Badvances to practical scenarios and innovations in commercial
(Binformation
(Bmanagement software. Industrial track submissions should also be
(Bprepared
(Bin the 8/5"x11" IEEE camera-ready format, with a 12-page limit, and
(Bsubmitted electronically via the industrial track submissions website.
(B
(BPANELS
(BPanel proposals must include an abstract, an outline of the panel
(Bformat, and
(Brelevant information about the proposed panelists. Send your proposals 
(Belectronically by the submission deadline to the Panel Chair, Meral $B%h(B
(Bzsoyoglu 
(Bat <meral[AT]case[.]edu>.
(B
(BDEMONSTRATIONS
(BDemonstration proposals should focus on new technology advances in
(Bapplying 
(Bdatabases or new techniques. Proposals must be no more than four 
(Bdouble-columned pages, and should give a short description of the
(Bdemonstrated 
(Bsystem, explain what is going to be demonstrated, and state the
(Bsignificance 
(Bof the contribution to database technology, applications or techniques.
(BSend 
(Byour proposals electronically to the Demonstration Chairs, Jose Blakeley
(Band 
(BMario Nascimento at <joseb[AT]microsoft[.]com> and
(B<mn[AT]cs[.]ualberta[.]ca>.
(B
(BADVANCED TECHNOLOGY SEMINARS 
(BSeminar proposals must include an abstract, an outline, a description of
(Bthe 
(Btarget audience, duration (1.5 or 3 hours), and a short bio of the 
(Bpresenter(s). Send your proposals electronically to the Seminar Chairs,
(BKarl 
(BAberer and G$Bül(Btekin $B%h(Bzsoyoglu at  and 
(B<tekin[AT]eecs[.]cwru[.]edu>.
(B
(BWORKSHOPS
(BWe invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with ICDE
(B2007. We 
(Bsolicit proposals for workshops related to the conference topics.
(BProposals 
(Bfor workshops should stress how they intend to provide more insight into
(Bthe 
(Bproposed topics with respect to the main conference. The scope
(Bdefinition of 
(Bthe proposal should encompass only some of the topics of the main
(Bconference. 
(BWorkshop proposals should be submitted to the workshop chairs, Ahmed 
(BElmagarmid and Fred Lochovsky (at <ake[AT]cs[.]purdue[.]edu> and 
(B<fred[AT]cs[.]ust[.]hk>) with the title, a description of the topic, and
(Bthe 
(Bnames of key organizers such as program chair(s). Prior contact with the 
(Bworkshop chairs is encouraged. The organizer(s) of approved workshops
(Bwill be 
(Bresponsible for advertising their workshops, and for the reviewing
(Bprocess for 
(Btheir workshop's papers, and for the collection of camera-ready copies
(Bof
(Baccepted papers. 
(B
(BSUBMISSION INFORMATION
(BResearch papers must be prepared in the 8/5"x11" IEEE camera-ready
(Bformat, 
(Bwith a 12-page limit, and submitted electronically at 
(Bhttp://www.srdc.metu.edu.tr/webpage/icde/.  All accepted papers will
(Bappear 
(Bin the Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society.
