Message from the Conference Chairs

For over a decade, the COMAD International Conference on Management of Data, modeled along the lines of ACM SIGMOD, has been the premier database conference hosted in India. It has been held on an approximately annual basis. This year, COMAD will be held in New Delhi during December 14-16, in the beautiful campus of the Indian Institute of Technology, renowned for its world class education and research. New Delhi, the capital city of India is a fusion of the ancient and the modern. Delhi unwinds a picture rich with culture, architecture and human diversity, deep in history, monuments, museums, galleries, gardens and exotic shows. It generates a mesmerizing charm reflecting well-composed and spacious streets under the shade of beautifully lined avenues of trees and tall and imposing government buildings.
