General Scope of Interest
SSDBM has evolved from its origins as the International Conference on Scientific and Statistical Database Management into a premier venue for research at the intersection of data systems, scientific applications, and scalable computing, while retaining its well-recognized acronym. The 38th edition continues to broaden its scope across all aspects of scalable and data-intensive scientific computing, hosted by the San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego.

Area 1: Scientific Applications, Workflows, and Reproducibility
Area 2: Data Modeling, Management, and Integration
Area 3: Big Data Processing and Performance
Area 4: Machine Learning, AI, and Visualization
Area 5: Streaming and Real-Time Data Processing
Area 6: Emerging Directions in Scientific Data Systems (digital twins, autonomous data systems, cross-layer observability, multi-modal analytics)
