The emerging network infrastructures such as P2P, mobile and sensor networks, and cloud computing were once lab toys. Nonetheless, they show strong potential to become mainstreams in the foreseeable future. While most network-side issues have been addressed or resolved, the data management issues that arise from the real deployment of these infrastructures are ever increasing. In particular, challenges associated with acquiring, storing, processing, and analyzing large-scale data from these heterogeneous networks call for novel data management techniques. The inherently dynamic nature of these networks further poses new research issues, such as privacy and security. This workshop aims to facilitate the collaboration between researchers in database and networking areas by presenting cutting edge research topics and methodologies.

Topics

We encourage papers that propose novel data management techniques for tasks such as:

distributed data storage and indexing techniques
query processing and optimization on new networks
data integration for heterogeneous networks
security and privacy issues in emerging networks
networking support for data management
data management in mobile and sensor networks
data management in P2P and cloud computing
data management benchmarking for new network infrastructures
challenges and visions for new services and applications
experience with real-world applications on emerging networks
