                       Seattle, Washington, USA
                           August 29, 2011

                           Call for Papers

For over 20 years, DBPL has established itself as the principal venue
for publishing and discussing new ideas at the intersection of
databases and programming languages. Many key contributions in query
languages for object-oriented data, persistent databases, nested
relational data, semistructured data, as well as fundamental ideas in
types for query languages were first announced at DBPL. Today, the
emergence of new data management applications such as Semantic Web and
Web services, XML processing, Social and Sensor Networks, Cloud
Computing and Peer-to-peer data management has lead to a new flurry of
creative research in this area. DBPL is an established destination for
such new ideas.

-----

AUTHOR GUIDELINES
-----------------

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in English presenting
original research. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not
submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions should be no more
than 6 pages long in the standard ACM SIG proceedings format with two
columns and a nine-point font on a ten-point baseline.

It is recommended that each submission begin with a succinct statement
of the problem and a summary of the main results. If the authors
believe more details are necessary to substantiate the main claims of
the paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix to be read at
the discretion of the committee. At least one author of each accepted
paper must attend the symposium to present their work.

Papers must be submitted online at the following URL:
