The annual International Conference on Extending Database Technology (EDBT) is a leading international forum for researchers, developers, and users to present and discuss cutting-edge ideas, and to exchange techniques, tools and experiences related to data management.

The conference invites submissions of original research contributions related to all aspects of data management. We particularly encourage submissions that focus on the following themes:

* the design and use of novel data science systems;
* synergies between database theory and database systems;
* legal, social, and ethical implications of database technology; and
* synergies between data management and machine learning.

A list of specific topics of interest is provided below, and is by no means exhaustive:

* Availability, reliability, and scalability
* Big data storage, processing and transformation
* Complex event processing and data streams
* Concurrency control
* Recovery and transaction management
* Data management in the cloud
