          CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

For close to two decades the COMAD - International Conference on Management of Data has
been the 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 (except for a few
breaks such as in the years when VLDB and ICDE were held in India).

COMAD has always had a significant international participation, with about 30% of the
papers being from outside India, including Europe, USA and East/South-East Asia.

The 15th COMAD is Organised by International School of Information Management (ISiM)
