When people on the move consume location-based services, join social networks, check into restaurants, or read local news, they knowingly or unknowingly access, query, and consume spatial data in the cloud. Cloud computing has emerged as a promising computing and business model to support the backends of Social-Location-Mobile (SoLoMo) applications. This workshop aims at understanding the unique challenges of spatial, social and mobile data in the cloud that is not typically encountered in more mainstream data forms. The workshop will target a variety of research topics from acquisition, representation and visualization of spatial, temporal and social network data in the cloud, to systems for processing, querying, and cleaning spatial data. The SDC workshop aims at bringing researchers and practitioners in cloud computing and data management systems dealing with spatial data to discuss research issues at the intersection of these areas, and draw more attention from the larger data management research community to this new and highly promising field.


Topics


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


  • SoLoMo Data Management in the Cloud
  • Cloud Technologies for Spatial-Temporal Data
  • Computational Geometry, Data Mining Operations in the Cloud
  • GIS Architecture and Middleware
  • Location-Based Services
  • Location Privacy, Data Sharing and Security
  • Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Data Acquisition
  • Spatial Data Representation and Visualization
  • Spatial Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
  • Spatial Data Structures and Algorithms
  • Spatial Data Warehousing, OLAP, and Decision Support
  • Spatial Data Transactions, Moving Objects
  • Spatial Data Privacy and Security
  • Spatial Data Sampling
  • Spatial Data Infrastructure
