Dear Colleagues, Due to overwhelming requests, we have decided to extend paper submission deadlines for HPDDM09 2009 until *** July 10 ***, 2009. [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st International Workshop on High Performance Distributed Data Management (HPDDM09) held in conjunction with 4th International Conference for Internet Technology and Secured Transactions (ICITST-2009) November 9-12, 2009, London, UK Technical Co-Sponsored by IEEE Workshop website: http://grelc.unile.it/HPDDM09 Call for Papers Distributed Data Management addresses a lot of problems related to large data sets manipulation, massive data replication, distributed metadata management, efficient data transfer over wide-area networks using Internet infrastructure as the basis for building transparent, robust and efficient data services. High performance distributed data management is continuosly gaining much interest in several contexts (finance, climate change, high henergy physics, astronomy, etc.) and plays a key role in the current and future eInfrastructures and middleware solutions. Several challenges concerning distributed data management and related to heterogeneity, security, dependability, high autonomy, P2P and large-scale distribution of data resources still need to be faced. The main purpose of this workshop is to bring researchers and practitioners to identify and explore open issues as well as discuss and propose high performance data management solutions for distributed environments. Authors are invited to submit regular papers. Topics of Interest High Performance data management Data Grids Data and Information Quality Management Data-intensive Grid applications Digital Libraries Data Life Cycle in Products and Processes Distributed Database Management High performance Data Mining Data Models for Production Systems and Services P2P data integration Accessing legacy databases via semantic services Semantic distributed query processing Ontology-based integration of data and services WSRF-based Data Grid services Grid Database Access, Management and Integration Services Data security and privacy Data Grid Portals Distributed Metadata Management for eScience Data warehousing Workflow/Dataflow management High performance Storage management Replication, Indexing, caching and load balancing in distributed environments Data Clouds & Data Virtualization Real cases and application scenarios of integration of data in distributed environments Important Dates Paper submission deadline ***** July 10, 2009 ***** Extended Deadline Author notification July 31, 2009 Camera ready version due September 1, 2009 Conference November 9-12, 2009 For more information please visit: - the conference website: http://www.icitst.org/ - the workshop website: http://grelc.unile.it/HPDDM09/ Workshop Organizers Giovanni Aloisio - Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change (CMCC) & University of Salento - Italy Sandro Fiore - Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change (CMCC) & University of Salento - Italy Peter Fox - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), USA Program Committee Rosa M.

Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Submissions should include abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 10 pages of single column, including tables and figures. Submissions imply the willingness of at least one author to register, attend the conference, and present the paper. Workshop participants must pay the ICITST-2009 conference registration fee. Each paper will be refereed by at least three independent reviewers. Paper submission indicates the intention of the author to present the paper at the HPDDM09 workshop at ICITST-2009. Your final version must be in IEEEÕs required format (maximum of 6 pages in length). Additional submission guidelines will be available on the conference web site. Please submit your paper by e-mail to sandro.fiore [AT] unile.it (make sure that the subject of the e-mail says "HPDDM09 Submission").
