Context :
---------
VLDB'05 (Very Large Data Bases, http://www.vldb.org/) is the 31st 
Conference in the series: It is one of the top conferences on the 
management of data bases in the world. This year, a new workshop is 
organized at VLDB'05 : Data Management in Grids.
 
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
