Workshop Program

The cloud computing has emerged as a promising computing and business model. By providing on-demand scaling capabilities without any large upfront investment or long-term commitment, it is attracting wide range of users. The database community has also shown great interest in exploiting this new platform for data management services in a highly scalable and cost-efficient manner. As a result, the cloud computing presents challenges and opportunities for data management. The DMC workshop aims at bringing researchers and practitioners in cloud computing and data management systems together to discuss the research issues at the intersection of those areas, and also to draw more attention from the larger data management research community to this new and highly promising field.


Topics


The DMC workshop calls for contributions that address fundamental research and system issues in cloud data management including but are not limited to the following:


  • Elasticity for Could Data Management Systems
  • Resource and Workload Management in Cloud Databases
  • Multi tenancy
  • High Availability and Reliability in Cloud Databases
  • Cloud computing infrastructures design for cloud data services
  • Transactional models for Cloud Databases
  • Distributed and Massively Parallel query processing
  • Storage architectures and technologies for cloud databases
  • Privacy and security in cloud data management
  • Mobile cloud data management
  • Cross-platform interoperability
  • Service-level agreements
  • Economic/business models, and pricing policies
  • Novel data-intensive/data-rich computing applications
  • Virtualization and Cloud Databases


The DMC workshop welcomes both full papers and short papers (e.g. experience reports, preliminary reports of work in progress, etc). Full papers should not exceed 8 pages in length. Short papers should not exceed 4 pages.
