Second 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. The
length should not exceed 15 pages. Papers longer than 15 pages risk
rejection without consideration of their merits.

The submissions will be judged for scientific quality and
relevance. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the
workshop to present the work. The submission process will be through
the Web; instructions for submission will appear on the conference
website in due time.
