Welcome to SSDBM 2026

The International Conference on Scalable Scientific Data Management (SSDBM 2026) brings together domain scientists, data management researchers, practitioners, and system developers to present and exchange the latest advances in scalable scientific data management. Building on the expanded vision introduced in 2025, the 38th edition continues to broaden its scope across all aspects of scalable and data-intensive scientific computing.

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.

SSDBM 2026 will serve as a forum for original research contributions, as well as practical system design, implementation, and evaluation of emerging techniques in scientific data management. The conference will maintain its single-track format to encourage active engagement and will feature invited talks, panel sessions, and demonstrations from both academia and industry.

SSDBM 2026 will be hosted by the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego in San Diego, California, from August 11 to August 13, 2026. Continuing the tradition of past SSDBM meetings, the conference provides a stimulating environment for fostering discussion, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas on all aspects of scientific and statistical data management, as well as high-performance data analysis tools and techniques for large-scale and distributed datasets.
