The Hellenic Data Management Symposium (HDMS) is the annual forum for the Greek database community to present and discuss recent advances in the Data Management (DM) field. The 20th HDMS will be held between July 2-3, 2026 in Athens, Greece.
The program will include academic and industry talks, keynotes, panels, research poster sessions, demos, student poster sessions, and other social activities.
The Microsoft CMT Service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support.
We invite submissions to the following three tracks:
(A)
Research/Industry/Data-Science/Application/Exper-Analysis/Tutorial/Journal
(B) Research Posters and Demos
(C) Student Posters (unpublished
work by undergraduate/postgraduate students)
Specifically:
Core database technologies (e.g., query processing and optimization, storage and indexing, database concurrency control, OLTP and OLAP processing).
Non-traditional data management architectures (e.g., data stream management, cloud data management, peer-to-peer systems, mobile data management, blockchain databases).
Data management applications (e.g., geographical information systems, data warehouses, social networks, scientific databases, IoT, crowdsourcing).
Models and languages for the management of data (e.g., XML, RDF, probabilistic databases, meta-data management, multi-media, graph data management).
Techniques for high performance and scalability in the management of data (e.g., distributed data processing, hardware accelerators, new hardware technologies).
Confluence of data management with: information retrieval, knowledge management, natural language processing, and data mining.
Databases and AI (e.g., vector databases, LLMs, RAG).
Other aspects of modern information systems (e.g., security, privacy, user interfaces, energy use minimization).
HDMS 2026 will take place in Athens (July 2nd - July 3rd 2026) at the Harokopio University of Athens, Amphitheater G. Karabatzos. Entrance to the Amphitheater is through the ground floor in the main University building.
