5th International Workshop on Self Managing Database Systems
(SMDB 2010)
March 1, 2010, Long Beach, California, USA
In conjunction with the 26th IEEE International Conference on Data
Engineering (ICDE 2010) March 1-6, 2010

http://db.uwaterloo.ca/tcde-smdb/smdb10/

*** KEYNOTE SPEAKER ***

We are proud to present Oliver Ratesberger - Senior
Director Architecture & Operations at eBay - as keynote speaker
at the workshop.

*** Workshop Overview ***

Data management systems are growing rapidly in scale and complexity,
while skilled administrators are becoming rarer and more expensive.
Adding autonomic, or self-managing, capabilities to these systems
promises easier use and maintenance. While considerable progress has
been made in this direction, trends like cloud computing,
virtualization, and software-as-a-service pose new challenges.
Autonomic capabilities need to scale to hundreds of database nodes
while taking economic factors into account.

The SMDB workshop brings together innovative researchers and
practitioners to exchange ideas related to autonomic data management
systems. SMDB 2010 will be a one-day workshop where accepted papers
are presented in an informal and interactive setting. Participation in
the workshop is not limited to authors of accepted papers.

Previous workshops of the SMDB series focused on core topics in
self-managing databases like physical design tuning, problem diagnosis
and recovery, and database integration and protection. In addition to
these core topics, the 2010 workshop seeks to broaden SMDB by
soliciting submissions in emerging research areas like cloud
computing, database testing, multitenant databases, large-scale
storage systems, and datacenter administration.

*** Topics of Interest ***

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Principles and architecture of autonomic data management systems
- Self-* capabilities in databases and storage systems
- Data management in cloud and multitenant databases
- Automated testing of data management systems
- Automated physical database design and adaptive query tuning
- Automated provisioning and integration
- Automatic enforcement of information quality
- Self-managing distributed / decentralized / peer-to-peer information systems
- Monitoring, visualization, and policy automation to aid datacenter
administration
- User acceptance and trust of autonomic capabilities
- Evaluation criteria and benchmarks for self-managing systems
- Use cases and war stories on deploying autonomic capabilities

*** Important Dates ***

- Paper submissions due: November 23, 2009, 5:00pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
- Notification of acceptance: December 18, 2009
- Camera-ready papers due: January 5, 2010

*** Paper Submission ***

Authors are invited to submit original research contributions in
English of up to 6 pages in IEEE camera-ready format (templates are
available from the ICDE 2010 submission guidelines page). Only
electronic submission in PDF format will be accepted. Paper
submissions should be made on-line through SMDB 2010’s CMT paper
submission site: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/SMDB2010/

Authors of accepted papers will submit a camera-ready version for
final publication. All papers accepted by the workshop will appear in
the formal Proceedings of the Conference Workshops published by IEEE
CS Press, and will therefore be included in the IEEE digital library.

MOUND2010 Deadline in 3 Weeks — no abstract registration required.

Second Call for Papers
The 2nd Workshop on Management and mining Of UNcertain Data (MOUND 2010)
In conjunction with ICDE 2010, March 1st 2010, Long Beach, CA USA
http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~mound10/

Recently, uncertain data management and mining has become a critical issue in many real applications, such as sensor data monitoring, location-based services, object identification, and moving object search. Unlike exact data, uncertain data are often represented as a set of discrete samples or a probability density function, which presents new challenges for analyzing, querying, and mining the uncertain data effectively and efficiently. Following the success of the First International workshop on Manageme
nt and mining Of UNcertain Data (MOUND) 2009, the Second MOUND 2010 will continue to investigate key issues related to the data management and mining over uncertain data. Specifically, this forum welcomes contributions that explore uncertain data management issues such as data representation, various types of queries, and indexes. Additionally, the workshop hopes to attract work that studies the new data mining techniques of data cleaning, clustering, and classification ove!
r uncertain data including sensor data, location data, web and multimedia data.

Submissions
===========

High quality research papers in the relevant areas are solicited. Original papers exploring new directions will receive especially careful consideration. Papers that have already been accepted or are currently under review for other conferences or journals will not be considered for MOUND10. Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 8 pages in the camera-ready format of ICDE10. All papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance to data mining, origin
ality, significance, and clarity. All accepted workshop papers will be included in a proceeding published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

Please submit your papers using the following submission site: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/MOUND2010

For any questions, please email the program chairs: shenht@itee.uq.edu.au or graham@research.att.com.
