International Workshop on Self-Managing Database Systems (SMDB2005)

April 8-9, 2005, Tokyo, Japan

In conjunction with
21st International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE 2005)
URL: http://icde2005.is.tsukuba.ac.jp/

Announcement:

Program is here.

Scope:

Databases are growing rapidly in scale and complexity, while skilled database administrators are becoming rarer and more expensive. The increasing complexity has necessitated investigating the design, development and deployment of autonomic database systems and applications that are self-defining, self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-protecting, self-healing, context aware, and anticipatory.

The aim of this workshop is to discuss and exchange the ideas related to autonomic management of data. We invite to submit original research contributions or experience reports of previously unpublished work. The main topics, but not limited to, include:

Fundamentals and principles of self-management of data
Architectures for self-managing database systems
Autonomic query optimization
Self-healing/protecting databases
Automated database/storage provisioning
Autonomic data integration
Autonomic of information quality
Self-managing distributed/decentralized/peer-to-peer systems
Policy automation in database administrations
Data models for self-managing systems
Evaluation criteria for self-managing database systems
Database Performance Evaluation
Database Benchmark

Submission Guidelines:

Authors are invited to submit original research contributions in English. The format of the electronic copy can be Postscript, Word, or PDF. Detailed formatting instructions from IEEE can be found at: http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm (see also IEEE style files). Submissions are limited to ten pages in the specified format for full papers. Authors may also submit work-in-progress short papers of no more than four pages. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Authors are required to submit papers via email to Takeshi Fukuda (fukudat@jp.ibm.com).

We plan to prepare an informal hardcopy of the proceedings available on-site during the workshop, and to publish formal electronic post-workshop proceeding by IEEE CS Press. That is, the papers will be included in the digital library of IEEE CS.

Important Dates:

Paper Submission:	January 14, 2005
Notification Date:	February 14, 2005
Camera-ready Copy Due:	February 28, 2005
