*** Apologies for crossposting - please forward to interested parties *** VLDB Workshop on Data Management in Grids http://liris.cnrs.fr/~jpierson/DMG_VLDB06/ Co-located with VLDB'06 Seoul, Korea, 10-11 September 2006 **************************************************** * DEADLINE EXTENDED : 22 May 2006 * **************************************************** **** Due to numerous demands, the deadline for submitting a paper is postponed for one week. **** Context : --------- VLDB'06 (Very Large Data Bases, http://www.vldb.org/) is the 32th Conference in the series: It is one of the top conferences on the management of data bases in the world. This workshop is the second workshop organized at VLDB on the topic of Data Management in Grids, after the success of the 1st edition in 2005. Topics of Interest : -------------------- Since the mid nineties and the emergence of Grids, many research activities have been initiated in relation to data management in these dynamic, heterogeneous and cross-organisational environments. The database community can offer her unique expertise in the management of very large, widely distributed databases. Conversely, Grids offer a novel and very exciting field of research for database scientists both in terms of application domains and fundamental research. This workshop is intended to bring together these two communities, and thus to offer a unique workspace for researchers to discuss and exchange ideas about the emerging challenges and opportunities offered by Data Grids. Relevant topics for the workshop include all aspects related to the management of data in a Grid (non-exhaustive list) : - Data Access - Data Interoperability - Semantic Grids - Mediation / Negotiation - Security: access control, policy, privacy - Authenticity and integrity - Data Placement: replication, migration - Data Streams - Metadata Management - Indexing - Query processing - Caching - Data Warehouses - Unique identification of data entities - Data Definition/Model Management - Data De-identification - Data scheduler and data-aware scheduling - Information sharing - Information dissemination - Infrastructure independence for data management - Federation of data management systems - Applications dealing with large databases Submission ---------- Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically as PDF or PS files via email to : Jean-Marc.Pierson@liris.cnrs.fr Research papers should not exceed 12 pages in length. They should be formatted using the camera-ready templates of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). It is foreseen that full papers will be published by Springer in a LNCS volume (last year workshop was published this way). At least one author is expected to register for the workshop and present the work. Important Dates : ----------------- Submission deadline : 22 May 2006 Acceptance notification : 23 June 2006 Final paper due : 15 July 2006 Workshop dates : 10-11 September, 2006 Program Chair : --------------- Jean-Marc Pierson LIRIS Lab., CNRS National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA) Lyon, France Program Committee : ------------------- Lionel BRUNIE, LIRIS, France Neil P.
