The 15^th COMAD is organized by the International School of Information Management (ISiM), University of Mysore during December 9-11, 2009 at Infosys Technologies campus, Mysore.

Similar to previous years, COMAD   2009’s scope  will  include  all   areas  in  the  data  management  space  including database management  systems, Web and Information  Retrieval and Data Mining. For details:  http://www.isim.ac.in/comad2009

 

For close to two decades COMAD – the International Conference on Management of Data, modeled along the lines of ACM SIGMOD, has been a premier international database conference hosted in India. The first COMAD was held in 1989, and it has been held on a nearly annual basis since then. COMAD always had significant international participation with about 30% of the papers from outside India including Europe, USA, and East/South East Asia.
