日本データベース学会の皆様 ACM SIGMOD日本支部の皆様 京都大学の岩井原です． DEXAワークショップの１つのGRepについて再度ご案内させていただきます． P2Pや情報統合など，広域情報管理がトピックになっています． 今年はコペンハーゲンで開催され，また翌週にはノルウェーでVLDBがあります． GRepは４月３０日まで投稿を受け付けております． First DEXA International Workshop on Data Management in Global Data Repositories (GRep) Held in conjunction with the 16th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA 2005) http://www.dexa.org/ August 23 - August 26, 2005 Copenhagen, Denmark (Workshop proceedings to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop Objectives and Scope The unprecedented growth of electronic data and ever-increasing user dependence on electronic data in today's world suggests that data should be regarded as one of the most important assets of the users. On the other hand, the last decade has witnessed tremendous increase in globalization. This has created a strong need for global-scale data repository systems, which store different kinds of user data of varying sensitivities and allow their users transparent access to data. Such data repositories can be significantly beneficial to users in several ways. For example, they can facilitate users in accessing any data in real-time from anywhere at anytime. Moreover, they can serve as data warehouses and provide archival data storage services to their users. Additionally, given the tremendously large amounts of data that can be expected to be in such repositories, data mining can also be done on these repositories to identify and analyze trends. Due to their tremendous usefulness, these global-scale data repositories have opened many new and interesting avenues for research in academia as well as in industry. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry to discuss novel and interesting solutions to the problems currently faced by global-scale data repositories. In the context of the general theme of the workshop concerning global-scale data management, suggested topics for this workshop include (but are NOT limited to) the following: P2P environments GRIDs Data Storage and Management Data Indexing Data Integration Data Semantics Data Replication Dynamic Data Placement Issues Load-balancing Query Processing and Query Optimization Resource Allocation and Scheduling Heterogeneity in the environment Performance Evaluation Security, Trust and Privacy Mechanisms Global-Scale Distributed Applications and Experiences Data Mining Data Warehousing IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline (extended): April 30, 2005 Notification of acceptance: May 10, 2005 Camera-ready copies due: May 20, 2005 Workshop: August 24/25th, 2004 (Note that abstract submission is NOT required.) Paper Submission Details Authors are invited to submit original and previously unpublished research contributions in English. Papers should be formatted according to IEEE guidelines (10 point font, two-column format), with the maximum permissible length for a paper being 5 pages in the above format. All papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, overall impact, technical depth and clarity of presentation.
