It is our great pleasure to introduce this issue of JIDM presenting the proceedings of the 26 th Brazilian Symposium on Databases -SBBD 2011.SBBD is the official database event of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and the largest venue in Latin America for presenting and discussing research on this field.This year's symposium will be held on October 3-6, in Florianópolis, the beautiful capital of the state of Santa Catarina in the southern of Brazil.As for last year, SBBD 2011 is organized in four technical tracks: Core Database Foundations and Technology, Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, Knowledge Modeling and Management, and Management of Data and Information.Each track was coordinated by a vice-chair (who selected its program committee members and interacted directly with them) and made its own acceptance decision in coordination with the PC chair.As the Steering Committee decided that track vice-chairs would be allowed to submit contributions to SBBD 2011, these contributions were treated in a special track entirely coordinated by the program committee chair.In addition, program committee members were asked to declare their conflict of interest with respect to the submitted contributions and had no access to them throughout the reviewing process.This way, it was possible to avoid any kind of conflict of interest that might have appeared during the reviewing process, thus preserving the fairness of the program committee's decisions.
