After a successful start 2008 in Berlin, the International Conference on Object Databases runs every year at a different location. It is a unique opportunity for scientists, the industry, developers and students to meet in person and exchange insights on object databases.  This conference is aimed at people with an interest in objects and databases, innovative ways to bring objects and databases together and also in alternatives / extensions to relational databases / mappers.

Object databases are the right choice for a certain class of application, to save developers cost and time and help them to build more feature rich OO applications. They enrich the database space that is sometimes seen as being entirely filled by relational databases and O/R mappers. Thus one of the purposes of this conference is to support a better understanding where to use ODBMSs / other non relational solutions and why. In this spirit we would like to invite you to join this conference, propose a paper or a talk, show a poster or simply visit or get in touch with us. If you are interested in this topic in general visit odbms.org and read the expert articles or browse the free section containing lecture notes, tutorials, articles and more.
