An award will be given to the best paper. Also, an award will be given to

the best paper written by newcomers to the field of database theory. The
latter award will preferentially be given to a paper written only by
students; in that case the award will be called "Best Student Paper Award
".
The program committee reserves the following rights: not to give an award
;
to split an award among several papers; and to define the notion of a
newcomer. Papers authored or co-authored by Program Committee members are
