The growing popularity of graph databases has generated interesting data management problems, such as indexing techniques, query algorithms and graph mining. This workshop will focus on issues related to graph databases. IWGD 2010 will be held in conjunction with WAIM 2010 conference in JiuZhaiGou Valley, China. We invite original research contributions; we are also interested in the applications of graph databases in different domains. IWGD 2010 aims at bringing together researchers in different fields related to graph databases who have common interests in interdisciplinary research. The workshop provides a forum where researchers and practitioners can share and exchange their knowledge and experience. All papers accepted by IWGD 2010 will be published in a combined volume of Lecturer Notes in Computer Science series published by Springer.

JiuZhaiGou Valley, under the well-knowned World Heritage List, has been voted as one of the most beautiful places in China, and even on earth. 5 superiorities are always related to JiuZhai Valley, which are the Colorful Forest, Jadish Lakes, Snowcapped Mountain, Staggering Waterfalls and Tibetan/Chiang Tribunal Culture and Romance. More details about JiuZhai Valley can be found here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiuzhaigou_Valley).

The IWGD 2010 topics include but are certainly not limited to the following areas:

1. Indexing techniques in graph gatabases;
2. Reachability and shortest path distance query;
3. Subgraph query and pattern matching query;
4. Foundations of graph mining;
5. Graph classification and clustering ;
6. Graph summary and graph visualization;
7. Keyword search in graph databases;
8. Social network analysis ;
9. Link analysis ;
10. Graph Databases in Bioinformatics;
11. Graph Databases in WWW;
12. Graph-based Semantic Data Management

Submission Details

All papers accepted by WAIM 2010 workshops will be published in a combined volume of Lecturer Notes in Computer Science series published by Springer. All submissions should be in English. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one author will attend the workshop to present the work. Papers should not exceed 12 pages in LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) Papers have to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. All manuscripts will be reviewed by members of the program committee based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.
