The 1st International Workshop on Graph Data Management:
Techniques and Applications (GDM 2010)

http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~gdm2010/

In Conjunction with the International Database Systems
for Advanced Applications (DASFAA 2010)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Recently, there has been a lot of interest in the application of graphs in
different domains. They have been widely used for data modeling of different
application domains such as chemical compounds, multimedia databases, protein
networks, social networks and semantic web. With the continued emergence and
increase of massive and complex structural graph data, a graph database that
efficiently supports elementary data management mechanisms is crucially required
to effectively understand and utilize any collection of graphs. The overall goal
of the workshop is to bring people from different fields together, exchange
research ideas and results, and encourage discussion about how to provide
efficient graph data management techniques in different application domains and
to understand the research challenges of such area.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Methods/Techniques for storing, indexing and querying graph data.
* Methods/Techniques for estimating the selectivity of graph queries.
* Methods/Techniques for graph mining.
* Methods/Techniques for compact (compressed) representation of graph data.
* Methods/Techniques for measuring graph similarity.
* Tools/Techniques for graph data management for social network applications.
* Tools/Techniques for graph data management of chemical compounds.
* Tools/Techniques for graph data management of protein networks.
* Tools/Techniques for graph data management of multimedia databases.
* Tools/Techniques for graph data management of semantic web data (RDF).
* Tools/Techniques for graph data management for geometrical applications.
* Tools/Techniques for graph data management for Business Process Management applications.
* Tools/Techniques for visualizing, browsing, or navigating graph data
* Analysis/Proposals for graph query languages.
* Advanced applications and tools for managing graph databases in different domains.
* Benchmarking and testing of graph data management techniques.


PAPER SUBMISSION
-----------------

All papers accepted by GDM'10 will be published in a combined volume of Lecturer
Notes in Computer Science series published by Springer.

Authors should submit papers reporting original works that are currently not
under review or published elsewhere. All paper are limited to 12 pages and
should be submitted in PDF format following Springer-Verlag's LNCS manuscript
submission guidelines, available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

Online submission system is open at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gdm2010


IMPORTANT DATES
---------------

* Paper submission deadline: December 11, 2009
* Author Notification: February 12, 2010
* On-site Paper Deadline: February 26, 2010
* Workshop: April 04, 2010
* Final Camera-ready Copy Deadline: April 26, 2010

Note:

the on-site paper deadline is for the informal proceedings to be distributed to
the participants at the workshop. The final camera-ready copy will be published
by Springer as a LNCS volume. Authors are expected to have a quick revision of
their papers reflecting discussion at the workshop. Papers that are not
presented in the workshop will not be published in the formal proceedings.
