CALL FOR PAPERS

		3rd International Workshop on XML Data Management Tools and Techniques
					(XANTEC 2008)
			http://www.cais.ntu.edu.sg/xantec2008/

				in conjunction with

		The 19th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA 2008)
				Sept 1 - 5, 2008
				   Turin, Italy

BACKGROUND:

XML has gain lot of attention from database researchers who are actively working in one or more of the emerging XML
areas. XML data are self-describing, and provide a platform independent means to describe data and therefore, can 
transport data from one platform to another. XML documents can be mapped to one more of the existing data models such 
as relational and object-relational, and XML views can be produced dynamically from the pre-existing data models. XML 
queries can be mapped to the queries of the underlying models and can use their optimization features. In this context, 
schema management and discovery, query optimization, data integration and indexing plays important roles. XML data 
integration is useful for E-commerce applications such as comparison-shopping, which requires further study in the domain 
of data, schema and query based integration. XML change management is another important area that has attracted attention 
in the context of web warehouse. XML has been in use in upcoming areas such web services, sensor and biological data management.

We are pleased to invite original contributions in this area for the 3rd International Workshop on XML Data Management Tools & 
Techniques to be held in Turin, Italy. One of the key objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers in this area 
who can share their views under this workshop. We solicits papers with important new insights and experiences of developing 
tools and techniques for managing XML data. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to

*Tools/Techniques for XML schema discovery
*Tools/Techniques for XML schema validation and constraints
*Tools/Techniques for XML data integration
*Tools/Techniques for XML data storage and indexing
*Tools/Techniques for realizing XML query languages and optimization
*Tools/Techniques for XML views and data publishing
*Tools/Techniques for XML applications in semantic web
*Tools/Techniques for XML data mining
*Tools/Techniques for XML change management
*Tools/Techniques for XML views and data mappings
*Tools/Techniques for XML data security
*Tools/Techniques for XML data privacy
