Final Call for Papers

ICDT Workshop on Emerging Research Opportunities in Web Data Management (EROW 2007)

Barcelona, Spain. January 13, 2007.

Collocated with ICDT 2007

http://www.erow.ua.ac.be/

The growing importance of the World Wide Web as a means to manage and publish both data and functionality has lead to new and interesting research questions in the field of databases, on already existing subjects and on completely new ones. This workshop aims at bringing together database researchers, from both the theoretical and practical side, to discuss whether the right subjects on Web data management are being researched, and whether there are new and interesting areas that have not been sufficiently addressed yet.

Therefore, we invite papers that contain theoretical results that could open up new research areas in Web data management, as well as application-oriented papers that present ideas and applications that raise new and interesting research questions.

Suggested, but not exclusive, topics of interest for submissions include:

• Data exchange
• Data integration
• Data streams
• Dataspaces
• Managing uncertain and imprecise information
• Multimedia data
• Peer-to-peer data management
• Schema matching
• Schema mapping and metadata management
• Scientific data
• Semantic Web
• Semi-structured data
• Spatial and temporal data
• Transaction management
• Web mining
• Web privacy and security
• Workflow and Web services
• XML

Important dates:

• Paper submission: Mon, Oct 23, 2006
• Notification of acceptance: Thu, Nov 30, 2006
• Camera-ready copy due: Thu, Dec 21, 2006
• Workshop: Sat, Jan 13, 2007

Submission Guidelines:

Paper submissions must be in electronic form using Portable Document Format (.pdf). Papers should be formatted according to the Springer LaTeX2e style llncs for Lecture Notes in Computer Science, which is available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
