				CALL FOR PAPERS
       		2007 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Data
			     Engineering (ICDE 2007)
				April 16-20, 2007
			The Marmara Hotel, Istanbul, Turkey
			     http://www.icde2007.org
				
					Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society

Data Engineering deals with the use of engineering techniques and 
methodologies
in the design, development and assessment of information systems for 
different
computing platforms and application environments. The 23rd International
Conference on Data Engineering provides a premier forum for sharing and 
exchanging
research and engineering results to problems encountered in today's 
information society.

We especially encourage submissions that make efforts (1) to expose 
practitioners
to how the research results and tools can contribute to their everyday 
problems
in practice and to provide them with an early opportunity to evaluate 
these tools;
(2) to raise awareness in the research community of the problems of 
practical
applications of data engineering and to promote the exchange of data 
engineering
technologies and experience among researchers and practitioners; (3) to 
identify
new issues and directions for future research and development in the 
data engineering field.

AWARDS
An award will be given to the best paper. A separate award will be given
to the best student paper. Papers eligible for this award must have a
(graduate or undergraduate) student listed as the first and contact
author, and the majority of the authors must be students. Such submissions
must be marked as student papers at the time of submission.

INDUSTRIAL PROGRAM
The conference will include an industrial track for high quality papers
and presentations on innovative  commercial software for all facets of
information technology, which include novel applications of database and
information retrieval technologies, experiences in applying recent research
advances to practical scenarios and innovations in commercial information
management software. Industrial track submissions should also be prepared
in the 8/5"x11" IEEE camera-ready format, with a 12-page limit, and
submitted electronically via the industrial track submissions website.

PANELS
Panel proposals must include an abstract, an outline of the panel 
format, and
relevant information about the proposed panelists. Send your proposals
electronically by the submission deadline to the Panel Chair, Meral 
Özsoyoglu
at <meral[AT]case[.]edu>.

DEMONSTRATIONS
Demonstration proposals should focus on new technology advances in
applying databases or new techniques. Proposals must be no more than four
double-columned pages, and should give a short description of the
demonstrated system, explain what is going to be demonstrated, and
state the significance of the contribution to database technology,
applications or techniques. Send your proposals electronically to
the Demonstration Chairs, Jose Blakeley and Mario Nascimento
at <joseb[AT]microsoft[.]com> and <mn[AT]cs[.]ualberta[.]ca>.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY SEMINARS
Seminar proposals must include an abstract, an outline, a description of 
the
target audience, duration (1.5 or 3 hours), and a short bio of the
presenter(s). Send your proposals electronically to the Seminar Chairs, 
Karl
Aberer and Gültekin Özsoyoglu at <karl[.]aberer[AT]epfl[.]ch> and
<tekin[AT]eecs[.]cwru[.]edu>.

WORKSHOPS
We invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with ICDE
2007. We solicit proposals for workshops related to the conference
topics. Proposals for workshops should stress how they intend to
provide more insight into the proposed topics with respect to the
main conference. The scope definition of the proposal should encompass
only some of the topics of the main conference. Workshop proposals
should be submitted to the workshop chairs, Ahmed Elmagarmid, Fred
Lochovsky and Yucel Saygin (at <ake[AT]cs[.]purdue[.]edu>
and <fred[AT]cs[.]ust[.]hk> and <ysaygin[AT]sabanciuniv[.]edu>) with
the title, a description of the topic, and the names of key organizers
such as program chair(s). Prior contact with the workshop chairs is
encouraged. The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible
for advertising their workshops, and for the reviewing process for
their workshop's papers, and for the collection of camera-ready
copies of accepted papers.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Research papers must be prepared in the 8/5"x11" IEEE camera-ready
format, with a 12-page limit, and submitted electronically at
http://www.icde2007.org.  All accepted papers will appear in the
Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society.
