日本データベース学会の皆様， 阪大の佐々木です． VLDB2021の併設ワークショップ Workshop on Software Foundations for Data Interoperability の案内です．VLDB2021はコペンハーゲンとオンラインのハイブリッドでの開催予定です． データ統合，知識グラフ，P2Pデータ管理など幅広いトピックに関するワークショップです．LNCSフォーマットで，14ページのfullと6ページのshortのトラックがありますので，完成された研究だけでなく，途中経過の報告も公募しています． 投稿締切はMay 1st, 2021, AoEです． 詳しくは下記ウェブサイトをご参照ください． Workshop website http://www.prg.nii.ac.jp/projects/biscuits/fifth-workshop/ ----------------------------------------------------------- SFDI2021: Fifth Workshop on Software Foundations for Data Interoperability August 16, 2021, Copenhagen, Denmark In conjunction with VLDB 2021 Workshop website http://www.prg.nii.ac.jp/projects/biscuits/fifth-workshop/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The SFDI 2021 workshop will be held in conjunction with VLDB 2021. The workshop aims at fostering discussion, exchange, and innovation in research and development in software foundations for data interoperability as well as the applications in real-world systems such as data markets. SFDI 2021 invites not only contributions from the database community but also researchers and professionals from programming language, software engineering, distributed computing, and natural language processing to share their knowledge and experience. For example, bidirectional transformation has been intensively studied in both database and programming language communities to address the view update problem, and a recent trend is to use bidirectional transformation for data sharing and data interoperability. In addition, many machine learning and natural language processing models have been utilized for data management, especially for data integration tasks. We thus hope to bring together academic and industrial research in related areas for the discussion of challenges and technical solutions to software foundations of data interoperability. SFDI 2021 solicits full and short research papers describing preliminary and ongoing research results. ==Topics of Interest * Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Bidirectional Programming * Data Catalogs * Data Exchange * Data Fusion * Data Integration * Data Interoperability * Data Lake * Data Market * Data Provenance * Data Sharing * Data Synchronization * Distributed Collaborative Systems * Distributed Data Management * Entity Resolution * Federated Database * Federated Learning * Inverse Programming * Knowledge Graphs * Large-scale Data Analysis * Machine Learning for Data Management and Vice Versa * Natural Language Processing * P2P Data Management * Query Optimization * Query Parallelization * Schema Mapping * Semantic Web ==Program Co-Chairs: * George Fletcher (Technische Universiteit Eindhoven) * Keisuke Nakano (Tohoku University) * Yuya Sasaki (Osaka University) ==Submission Guidelines All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled electronically.
