dbjapanの皆様 もう一つ，香港で6月に開催されるWAIM国際会議の併設ワークショップWINPEN 2006 のアナウンスをさせていただきます．P2P，ストリーム処理などを含む，ネット ワークに関連したデータベース技術に関する投稿をお待ちしています． 以前のアナウンスと異なり，論文集がIEEEのディジタルライブラリに掲載される ことになりました．その経緯がありまして，論文投稿締切が5/1に延長されま した． 石川＠名古屋大 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Call For Papers WINPEN 2006 International Workshop on INformation Processing over Evolving Networks June 17, 2006 Hong Kong, China http://www.comp.polyu.edu.hk/~winpen06/ in conjunction with WAIM 2006 http://www.se.cuhk.edu.hk/~waim06/ Aims and Scope The network technology has continued to evolve since its inception forty years ago. Through the rapid development in the past ten years, the Internet and the web has become the de facto standard of communication nowadays, embracing information processing capability. However, there are still a great variety of networks in operation, and many more will be used for widespread deployment. The past few years witness the upcoming of wireless/mobile networks and sensor networks. Information processing on those networks continues to be an important research and application area. This workshop aims at sharing and integrating research efforts upon the information processing issues on different types of networking systems, including the standard Internet, intranets, wireless communication networks, and the evolving sensor networks, internet 2 and so on. WINPEN 2006 will be held in conjunction with WAIM 2006 conference and invites original research contribution on generic and applied research on information processing over different types of networks, especially those within inter-disciplinary research. The workshop would provide a forum where researchers and practitioners can share and exchange their knowledge and experience. Topics of Interest The WINPEN 2006 topics of interest include but are certainly not limited to the following areas: * Networked information and database systems * Indexing and information retrieval * Web services and applications * Peer-to-peer computing * Data and resource sharing * Agents * Wireless networks and information access * Mobile data management * Data processing over sensor networks * Streaming data * Uncertainty data management in streams and sensor networks * Data integration * Privacy and security We strongly encourage submission of papers bridging the research in different fields and promoting mutual exchange and understanding of cross-field research results. Publication and Submission Details The informal proceedings will be published by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The formal proceedings will be published after the workshop by IEEE. All submissions should be in English. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one author will attend the workshop to present the work. Papers should not exceed 8 pages in US Letter or A4 double column format. Papers have to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. Papers must be submitted to winpen06@comp.polyu.edu.hk by e-mails. All manuscripts will be reviewed by members of the program committee based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.
