Call for Papers for the
First Workshop on Data Management Issues in Web Syndication Systems (DaMIWS)
co-located with CIKM 2010.


Dear Colleagues,

we would like to invite you to the First Workshop on Data Management
Issues in Web Syndication Systems (DaMIWS) co-located with CIKM 2010,
October 30, Toronto, Canada.

Description : The growing number of web syndication applications and
feeds generate new challenges in data management related to the
combined usage of semi-structured data formats (RSS, ATOM) with
publish-subscribe protocols and content or topic-based filtering and
aggregation. Whereas current syndication infrastructures already
benefit from existing solutions and technologies proposed for
semi-structured data and data streams, the distributed processing of
RSS and ATOM streams require new continuous feed processing techniques
and algorithms in order to enable scalable and high quality data
exchange, aggregation and collaboration. The main goal of the first
DaMIWS workshop on data management issues in web syndication systems
is to bring together academics and industrials for exchanging ideas
and solutions for building high-quality web content syndication
services and applications spreading from small-scale personal
information sharing within social networks to large-scale news
broadcasting.

DAMiWS is co-located with the 19th ACM Conference on Information and
Knowledge Management (CIKM)
