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 invite short papers (maximum 6 pages) 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.

 

*Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:*

    * Peer-to-peer approaches to data discovery and data storage
    * Distributed Metadata management
    * Services for generating and maintaining provenance information
    * Techniques for replica management, including consistency of replicas
    * Algorithms for data placement, prefetching, staging, proactive
      replication
    * Federation of diverse databases, data mediation services
    * Distributed query processing
    * Virtualization of data resources
    * Interaction of data management with execution environments,
      including workflow management services, virtual machines
    * Validation of correctness of distributed data
    * Publish/subscribe systems
    * Advanced data transfer techniques
    * Namespace management, globally unique naming
    * Support for streaming data

 

*Important dates: *

    * Position papers due: February 28, 2006 (Tuesday)
    * Program committee discussion: March 23, 2006 (Thursday)
    * Notification of acceptance of papers: March 27, 2006 (Monday)
