dbjapanの皆様 京都大学の岩井原です． ポーランドの古都，Krakowで開催されますDEXA2006の併設ワークショップの１つ， Grep2006についてご案内させていただきます． 締切は４月１日ですが，多少待つことは可能だそうです． ---------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd International Workshop on Data Management in Global Data Repositories (GRep) 2006 Held in conjunction with the 17th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA 2006) http://www.dexa.org/ September 4 - September 8, 2006 Krakow, Poland (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 first GRep workshop, GRep 2005, was organized successfully in conjunction with DEXA 2005 and resulted in significant fruitful discussions among academic and industrial researchers concerning the problems arising from global data management. The objective of GRep 2006 is to bring together researchers from academia and industry once again and provide a forum for the discussion of novel and interesting solutions to the problems currently faced by global-scale data repositories. Given that such global-scale data repository systems can be expected to have a large number of possibly distributively-owned and geographically distributed servers, several issues need to be addressed to make such data repositories work effectively in practice. 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 Data Semantics Federated databases Global-Scale Distributed Applications and Experiences Data Mining Data Warehousing IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: March 15, 2006 Notification of acceptance: May 10, 2006 Camera-ready copies due: June 10, 2006 Workshop: To be decided (Note that abstract submission is NOT required.) Paper Submission Details Authors are invited to submit original and previously unpublished research contributions in English.
