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. This year IDEAS has renewed its structure and will include a panel session and special tracks. We invite the submission of original research contributions relating to all aspects of database engineering defined broadly, and particularly encourage submissions on 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.
