*** Apologies for crossposting - please forward to interested parties *** *HPDC Workshop on Next-Generation Distributed Data Management* http://www.isi.edu/~annc/distributedDataWorkshop.html June 20, 2006 Paris, France Register at HPDC web site: http://hpdc.lri.fr/index.php?section=Info&subsection=registration Distributed data management is a challenging problem in high performance computing environments, and the difficulty of managing scientific and commercial data sets will increase as they scale to terabytes and petabytes in the coming years. In conjunction with HPDC, we will hold a one-day workshop that will gather together researchers and industry participants to discuss future trends for distributed data management in HPDC environments. We include papers of two types: position papers that discuss the authors' vision for trends or developments in data management in the three to five year timeframe or papers that describe innovative algorithms, tools or services for distributed data management.
