                     CALL FOR WORKSHOPS

The British National Conference on Databases (BNCOD) was established in
1980 as a prime venue for discussing original research in the theory and
practice of database systems. BNCOD has always attracted an international
audience to discuss the leading research topics in the field of data,
information and knowledge management as well as their application to
support businesses and public services. Besides the main technical
programme, BNCOD intends to host a number of workshops on topics related
to the development and adoption of novel technologies for storing,
accessing, and manipulating data. The BNCOD workshops provide a context
for focussed discussions and exchange of ideas among researchers
interested in a particular topic. The workshops should provide the
opportunity to present and discuss ongoing work and new ideas in area of
data management and related technologies.


TOPICS OF INTERESTS

Workshop proposal should address topics that fall within the broader
topics addressed by the main BNCOD conference. Topics should have a
clear focus on a specific problem or application that is of interest to
a clear database research community.We particularly encourage the
submission of workshop proposals on:

- Theoretical aspects and fundamental problems in data and knowledge
   management.
- Methodologies for conceptual data modelling.
- Management of Big Data on the Web.
- Real-world applications of data and knowledge management with
   particular emphasis on their impact in the era of Big Data.
- Personalised, mobile and ubiquitous data and knowledge management.
- Evaluation of data and knowledge management technologies. In particular,
   we solicit contributions on benchmarking best practices such as
   repeatability of results.
- Novel aspects and research directions of data-management.
- Experience and methodologies for teaching database-related topics.
