============== MSQGD 2018 | Call for Papers =============== Special Session on Modelling, Storing, and Querying of Graph Data at the 10th Asian Conference on Intelligent Information and Database Systems (ACIIDS 2018) Dong Hoi City, Vietnam, March 19-21, 2018 Conference website: http://www.aciids.pwr.edu.pl/ Special Session Organizers Jaroslav Pokorný, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic E-mail: pokorny@ksi.mff.cuni.cz Bela Stantic School of Information and Communication Technology Griffith Sciences, Griffith University, Australia E-mail: B.Stantic@griffith.edu.au Scope of the session: Graph databases (GDB) are focused on efficient storing and querying highly connected data. They are a powerful tool for graph-like queries and graph analysis. Today, in context of Big Data we even talk about Big Graphs. Consequently, new graph storage methods and new index techniques are developed and studied in context of Big Data. In line with similar concepts in other database technologies, we then talk about Graph Data Management Systems (GDBMS). Graph databases are considered usually as NoSQL databases. In practice, only some of them use traditional database notions like, e.g., database schema and integrity constraints. Graph-based conceptual schemas occur also very rarely. As a result, querying as well as graph data analysis without information about the data stored in a GDB become more complicated. The same holds for design of appropriate index structures. The MSQGD 2018 Special Session at the (ACIIDS 2018) is devoted to modelling, storing and querying (big) graph data in GDBMS. The session should offer to researchers an opportunity to present and discuss these topics, moreover, in an integrated way as it is always beneficial for each database technology. The scope of the MSQGD 2018 includes, but is not limited to the following topics: • Graph data models • Conceptual modelling of graph data • Conceptual and database schemas in context of graph databases • Integrity constraints in graph databases • Infrastructures for dealing with Big Graphs • Graphs in polyglot databases • Importing data into a graph database • Storing and indexing graph data • Principles of graph query languages • Expressive power of graph query languages • Fuzzy queries over graph databases • Mining large connected data • Why and when to use graph databases • Applications of graph databases Important dates Submission of papers: 31 October 2017 (HARD DEADLINE) Notification of acceptance: 1 December 2017 Camera-ready papers: 15 December 2017 (HARD DEADLINE) Registration & payment: 15 December 2017 Conference date: 19-21 March 2018 Program Committee Michal Valenta, Czech Technical University, Czech Republic Martin Svoboda, Charles University, Czech Republic M.
