held in conjunction with

4th International Conference for Internet Technology and Secured Transactions (ICITST-2009)
November 9-12, 2009, London, UK

Technical Co-Sponsored by IEEE

Call for Papers
Distributed Data Management addresses a lot of problems related to large data sets manipulation, massive data replication, distributed metadata management, efficient data transfer over wide-area networks using Internet infrastructure as the basis for building transparent, robust and efficient data services. High performance distributed data management is continuosly gaining much interest in several contexts (finance, climate change, high henergy physics, astronomy, etc.) and plays a key role in the current and future eInfrastructures and middleware solutions. Several challenges concerning distributed data management and related to heterogeneity, security, dependability, high autonomy, P2P and large-scale distribution of data resources still need to be faced.
The main purpose of this workshop is to bring researchers and practitioners to identify and explore open issues as well as discuss and propose high performance data management solutions for distributed environments. Authors are invited to submit regular papers.

Submission procedure
Papers reporting original and unpublished research results and experience are solicited. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
Submissions should include abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 10 pages of single column, including tables and figures.
Submissions imply the willingness of at least one author to register, attend the conference, and present the paper. Workshop participants must pay the ICITST-2009 conference registration fee. Each paper will be refereed by at least three independent reviewers. Paper submission indicates the intention of the author to present the paper at the HPDDM09 workshop at ICITST-2009.
Your final version must be in IEEE?s required format (maximum of 6 pages in length). Additional submission guidelines will be available on the conference web site.
Please submit your paper by e-mail to sandro.fiore [AT] unile.it (make sure that the subject of the e-mail says "HPDDM09 Submission").
