The 2000 ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data was held May 16-18, 2000, in Dallas, Texas. The SIGMOD Conference is an annual international form for the presentation, discussion, and dissemination of new results on database technology and application, and for the demonstration of prototype implementations of this technology. It is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and its Special Interest Group on Management of Data (SIGMOD). This year, as in preceding years, two days of the conference were overlapped with the Symposium on Principles of Database Systems(PODS.)

Once again, acceptance into the conference proceedings was extremely competitive. From the 248 research program submissions, the program committee selected 42 papers for inclusion into the proceedings. We received papers on a wide range of topics, ranging from "traditional" topics such as query optimization and evaluation, to data mining, to a new emphasis on the web and XML. Needless to say, to accept only 42 papers we were forced to reject many high quality papers. We would like to thank all the authors for submitting to SIGMOD.

In addition to the research program, the conference featured an excellent industrial program, thought provoking panels, illuminating tutorials, and 20 software prototype demonstrations.

Producing this proceedings took a great deal of work. The program committee members each reviewed a daunting pile of papers. We are extremely indebted to Surajit Chaudhuri and the Microsoft Conference Managment Tool team for developing the software and hosting the site that handled the submission, distribution, and reviewing of the papers.

Phil Bernstein chaired an industrial program committee that assembled the strong industrial program. Jiawei Han did the same for the demo program. Svein-Olaf Hvasshovd solicited and selected the tutorials, while Alon Levy organized the panels.

The conference would not have been a success without help from so many people. Leo Fegaras organized and planned the local arrangments. Mario Nascimento served as publicity chair and acted as webmaster. Vijay Kumar was in charge of finances. Alex Delis ensured the successful registration. Masaru Kitsuregawa, Christian S. Jensen, and Claudia Bauzer Medeiros served as our Asian, European, and South American coordinators. As corporate sponsor's chair, Sharma Chakravarthy, successfully raised enough support to keep our registration fees low. David Levine ensured the successful operation of demos by serving as our local demo chair. This year we began a new undergraduate scholarship program with Le Gruenwald in charge, and awarded scholarships to support the attendance to SIGMOD by five undergraduate students.
