WAIM is a premier international conference for researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to share and exchange ideas, results, experience, techniques, and tools in connection with all aspects of data management. As the 16th event in the increasingly popular series, WAIM2015 expects to attract participants from all over the world to Qingdao, a beautiful coastal city in north China, and continues to establish WAIM as one of the major conferences on Web-based information systems.

The WAIM2015 organizing committee invites submissions of research papers, industry papers and demo papers for WAIM2015, to be held in Qingdao, China, June 8-10, 2015. Submissions are invited on all aspects related to Web-age information management. Each paper will be fully refereed by the program committee and judged on its originality, significance, technical quality, and relevance to WAIM2015 as well as presentation. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one author will attend the conference to present the work.
