Organization
The 6th Workshop on Distributed Data and Structures (WDAS'2004) will be
organized by the School of Computer and
Communication Sciences of EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, during July 8-9,
2004. The main goal of the workshop is to bring together computer
scientists interested in Distributed Data and Structures. Originating in
distributed databases this field gains growing interest in the context of
the recent developments in P2P computing and P2P data management.
Topics
Distributed data and structures are at the basis of modern computer
science. Advances in the domain are fundamental to performance and
scalability of various types of storage, database and information systems
as well as for the problem of resource location in P2P and Grid Computing
Systems. The WDAS workshops examine the state-of-the-art in the area with
respect to
- Fundamental Theoretical Advances
- Access Methods and Algorithms
- Programming Languages
- Reliability
- Architectures
- Prototypes and Applications
- Demos of Prototypes and of new Algorithms
WDAS'2004 is the 6th workshop in the WDAS series. Previous workshops took
place in Orlando (1998), Princeton (1999), L'Aquila (2000), Paris (2002)
and Thessaloniki (2003). The attendance will be limited to 50
participants. Besides of the presenters, requests for participation will be
dealt with in the order of the received paid registrations.
Extended abstracts, 5 pages long, with original, English-language research
contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere must be submitted
electronically in PDF format to the program chair by email: karl.aberer@epfl.ch. The
paper abstract should contain title, author name(s), and keywords.
Submitted papers will undergo a peer review process, coordinated by the
Program Committee Chair. Notification and reviews will be communicated via
email. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and included in
the proceedings that will be published by a local publisher and distributed
at the workshop location. Selected papers will be included in
post-proceedings published by an international publisher
(e.g. Carleton-Scientific or Springer Verlag). The proceedings are also
listed on the DB Trier
server.
Please send the camera-ready version of your paper to magdalena.punceva@epfl.ch
by May 31, 2004. For each accept paper at least 1 co-author has to
register.
Proposals for tutorials are also invited on topics within the conference
area. Tutorial proposals must be at most 3 pages and they must give enough
material to provide a sense of what will be covered. Tutorial proposals
should be submitted electronically in PDF format to karl.aberer@epfl.ch.
