---Introduction---
The joint EDBT/ICDT Ph.D. Workshop is intended to bring together Ph.D. 
students working on topics related to the EDBT and the ICDT conference
series.
The workshop will offer Ph.D. students the opportunity to present, discuss, 
and receive feedback on their research in a constructive and international 
atmosphere.
The workshop will be accompanied by prominent professors and researchers in
the
field of database technology and theory. These accompanying professors will
participate actively and contribute to the discussions.
The workshop is co-located with and will take place immediately before the 
EDBT/ICDT 2010 joint conference in Lausanne, Switzerland. The workshop
language
is English.
---Topics of Interest---
As for the EDBT/ICDT conferences series, all topics from the field of
database technology and theory are of interest for the Ph.D. Workshop
including
the transfer of database technologies, algorithms and theories to new
problem
domains (e.g. life sciences). These topics include (but are not limited to):
* Active Databases
* Advanced Query Processing and Optimization
* Ambient-aware Database Applications
* Approximate Queries
* Authorization and Security
* Autonomic Databases
* Biological Databases and Bioinformatics
* Component-based Information Systems
* Constraint and Rule Management
* Data Integration Methods
* Data Management in Computer Games
* Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
* Data Models and Database Design
* Data Warehousing and OLAP
* Database Applications and Experiences
* Database Performance and Benchmarks
* E-Commerce, Workflow and Databases 
* Federated Databases, Middleware and Interoperability
* Knowledge Management Systems
* Geographic Information Systems
* Imprecise and Uncertain Information
* Indexing, Access Methods, Data Structures
* Information Integration Methods
* IT-Infrastructure Management and Enterprise Modeling
* Legacy Databases
* Logic and Databases
* Medical Databases and Data Management
* Mobile Computing and Databases
* Multimedia Databases
* Object-Relational Database Systems
* Parallel and Distributed Databases
* Peer-to-Peer and Networked Databases
* Privacy Techniques for Databases
* Query Languages and User Interfaces
* Real-Time Database Systems
* Replication, Caching, Materialized Views
* Repository Systems and Model Management 
* Scientific and Statistical Databases
* Self-healing Databases
* Semantic Web Databases and Ontologies
* Semi-structured Data, Metadata and XML
* Spatial and Temporal Databases
* Stream Processing, Continuous Queries and Sensor Databases
* Text Storage and Retrieval
* Transactions and Recovery 
* Trustworthy Databases
* World-Wide Web and Databases
---Submission---
Papers describing doctoral work should be submitted in PDF or PostScript
format before 24.00 CET (Central European Time) on October 29th, 2009. The
paper
length must not exceed 6 pages (including all parts!). The paper has to be
formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings Template (please use A4 as
paper
size NOT letter). Workshop and paper language is English. You can post your
submission using the following URL (please select the "EDBT_2010 PhD
Workshop"
as track for your submission):
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=edbt_2010
In contrast to regular conference papers, submissions should address 
specifically doctoral work! Therefore, the following elements are
recommended:
- A clear formulation of the research question.
 - An identification of the significant problems in the field of research.
 - An outline of the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well as the
   state of existing solutions.
 - A presentation of any preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and the
   results achieved so far.
 - A sketch of the applied research methodology.
 - A description of the Ph.D. project's contribution to the problem
   solution.
 - A discussion of how the suggested solution is different, new, or better
   as compared to existing approaches to the problem.
Please note, that similar to a Ph.D. thesis, only a single author is
allowed per submission to the Ph.D. workshop. If several Ph.D. students, 
usually working together as a team, want to submit, every team member has to
submit individually. The Ph.D. advisor is not stated as co-author.
The intention of this workshop is to support and inspire Ph.D. students
during
their ongoing research efforts. Therefore, it is necessary that authors will
have neither achieved their Ph.D. degree nor officially submitted their
thesis
before the Ph.D. workshop (March 22, 2010). To enforce this rule we require
authors to disclose their expected graduation date and their advisor's name 
when submitting. Ph.D. students that have already published significant
parts 
of their work at some other major conference (e.g. SIGMOD, VLDB, ER, ICDE, 
etc.) are asked to step back and offer other Ph.D. students the opportunity
to
discuss their research topics.
Accepted submissions will be published in the workshop proceedings.
Furthermore, we plan to publish post-workshop proceedings of selected and
revised submissions in the ACM Digital Library, as we did in the last years.
Once again, we plan to award a prize for the best submission.
Participants should register for the EDBT/ICDT conference itself at student 
rate.
