                               PREFACE
    The Alberto Mendelzon Workshop is an international scientific venue started
in 2006 to honor the memory of Alberto Mendelzon, who gave a significant
contribution to the field of data management. It has been a locus for discus-
sion on top-quality research in foundations of data management. While focused
especially on Latin American students and scholars, the workshop is open to
submissions from anywhere, and it has so far gathered some of the worlds best
researchers in the field.
    This volume contains papers accepted for the 10th edition of the AMW, held
in Panama City, Panama, from the 8th to the 10th of May, 2016. As in last
year’s edition, the call for papers of this edition solicited two types of submis-
sions: regular and short papers, where the latter was intended to present ongoing
research, results published elsewhere or applications. We had a record number of
58 submissions from around the world. Every submission was assigned to at least
three members of the program committee for review. The program committee
decided to accept 41 papers, which are arranged into six sessions, resulting in
diverse and interesting program.
    Besides the great touristic, natural and adventure attractions that made
Panama worldwide famous, attendees have also enjoyed the technical program
and the overall workshop organization, thanks to the hard work made by the
organizers. In particular, this year’s edition kept the tradition of bringing keynote
talks by some of the greatest researchers in their fields, namely, Lise Geetor,
Diego Calvanese, Juliana Freire and Raghu Ramakrishnan.
    As the four preceding editions, AMW 2016 hosted the Alberto Mendelzon
Workshop School (AMWS), which consists of three-hour tutorials given by in-
vited international speakers. The school was held before AMW, 6th and 7th of
May 2016. This year’s speakers were Ricardo Baeza-Yates, Oscar Corcho, Juan
L. Reutter, Magdalena Ortiz and Carlos Buil-Aranda. Lise Getoor and Diego
Calvanese have doubled their contribution to AMW, also giving insightful tuto-
rials at AMWS.
    We would like to warmly thank, in no particular order: the authors of the
papers, the Program Committee, and the external reviewers, the local organizers,
the AMW School Committee, the Steering Committee, the General Chair and
the local supporting institutions. Without the effort of all the above, the AMW
2016 could not have been successful.
    We are also looking forward to the next editions of the Alberto Mendelzon
Workshop, which has become an established and high-quality venue in the area
of data management.
