Concurrency control and recovery
Data adaptability, reusability and quality
Database languages and models
Information integration, data provenance, probabilistic databases
Mobile databases and distributed data management
Peer-to-peer, parallel and distributed databases
Query processing, optimization and performance
Real-time and active databases
Scientific and biological databases
Semantic Web
Semi-structured data processing, XML filtering and routing
Stream-based processing and network databases
String Databases, Blogs and Social Search
Systems, middleware, applications and experiences
Temporal, spatial and multimedia databases
User experience: languages, models, interfaces
