Change is a fundamental but sometimes neglected aspect of information and database systems. The management of evolution and change and the ability for database, information and knowledge-based systems to deal with change is an essential component in developing and maintaining truly useful systems that minimize service disruption and down time and maximize availability of data and applications. Many approaches to handling evolution and change have been proposed in various areas of data management and this forum seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from both more established areas and those from emerging areas to look at this issue. The sixth ECDM workshop (the first five ECDM workshops were held with ER'99 in Paris, France, with ER'02 in Tampere, Finland, with ER'04 in Shanghai, China, with ER'06 in Tucson, Arizona and with ER'08 in Barcelona, Spain) will deal with the manner in which change can be handled, and the semantics of evolving data and data structure in computer based systems.
Workshop topics include, but are not limited to:

* Semantics of Change in Time and Space
* Modelling and Management of Time-Varying Data, Temporal Databases
* Handling Changes and Versioning of Semi-structured Data
* Managing Information System Upgrades and Schema Changes
* Handling Changes of Metadata, Schema Evolution and Versioning
* Change Detection, Monitoring and Mining
* Evolution and Change in Internet-based Information Systems
* Evolution and Change in e-services and e-world Systems
* Induction of Cause and Effect, Logics for Evolution
* Maintenance of Views, Summaries, Dictionaries and Warehouses
* Managing Evolution of Sources in Information Integration
* Evolution and Versioning of Ontologies
* Time and Change in Semantic Web
