CALL FOR PAPERS

Third Workshop on Massive Data Algorithmics (MASSIVE 2011)

June 16, 2011, Paris, France

In connection with SoCG'11 and organized by
Center for Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO)

www.madalgo.au.dk/massive2011

AIM AND SCOPE

Tremendous advances in our ability to acquire, store and process
data, as well as the pervasive use of computers in general, have
resulted in a spectacular increase in the amount of data being
collected. This availability of high-quality data has led to
major advances in both science and industry. In general, society
is becoming increasingly data driven, and this trend is likely to
continue in the coming years.

The increasing number of applications processing massive data
means that in general focus on algorithm efficiency is
increasing. However, the large size of the data, and/or the small
size of many modern computing devices, also means that issues
such as memory hierarchy architecture often play a crucial role
in algorithm efficiency. Thus the availability of massive data
also means many new challenges for algorithm designers.

The aim of the workshop on massive data algorithmcs is to provide
a forum for researchers from both academia and industry
interested in algorithms for massive dataset problems. The scope
of the workshop includes both fundamental algorithmic problems
involving massive data, as well as algorithms for more
specialized problems in, e.g., graphics, databases, statistics
and bioinformatics. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:

- I/O-efficient algorithms
- Cache-oblivious algorithms
- Memory hierarchy efficient algorithms
- Streaming algorithms
- Sublinear algorithms
- Parallel algorithms for massive data problem
- Engineering massive data algorithms

PAPER SUBMISSION

We invite submissions of extended abstracts (at most 10 pages not
counting references) of original research. Extended abstract
should be submitted through the EasyChair website by Wednesday
April 27. Authors will be notified about acceptance by Monday May
9, and final versions will be due on May 30. Accepted extended
abstracts will be collected in a booklet, which will be
distributed at the workshop. There will be no formal proceedings,
so work presented at the workshop can also be (or have been)
presented at other conferences. An author of each accepted
abstract is expected to give a presentation of the abstract at
the workshop.
