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.)
