CALL For PAPERS ---------------

1st IEEE International Workshop on Networking Meets Databases (NetDB) in cooperation with 21st IEEE Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE 2005) April 8th and 9th, 2005 National Center of Science Tokyo, Japan

The First Workshop on Networking Meets Databases, NetDB, will bring together researchers in the networking and database communities to debate emerging research directions. We are witnessing the blurring of the traditional boundaries between these two disciplines, especially in the emerging areas of sensor and peer-to-peer networks. We believe time is ripe for these two communities to get together and discuss the common interests, share and exchange expertise and results, and appreciate each other's terminologies and contributions. The goal of this year's workshop is to promote discussion of ideas that will influence and foster continued research in the areas of sensor and peer-to-peer networks. The workshop will provide a venue for researchers to present new ideas that can significantly impact both communities and perhaps give birth to a new community in the long term.

We encourage submissions in the areas of sensor and peer-to-peer networks across the broad range of networking and database research. Topics of interest include, but are by no means limited to:

- Architectures for sensor and peer-to-peer databases - Applications of sensor and peer-to-peer databases - Data analysis for network traffic estimation and security - Data models, query models, and query languages for sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Data placement and storage in sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Query planning, execution, and optimization in sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Indexing, caching, and replication techniques for sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Scalable distributed data structures for data management in sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Workload characterization and performance evaluation for sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Dynamic schema integration in sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Self-* properties and emergent behavior in sensor and peer-to-peer networks - Transaction management for peer-to-peer networks - Data mining, data retrieval, and streaming in peer-to-peer systems

The selection of NetDB papers will be based primarily on their potential to influence future research. This influence can be exercised in many ways, exemplified by but not limited to the following:

- Describing a novel approach to an old problem that promises to influence future research - Describing a new problem that requires our attention - Articulating a new perspective about networking and databases - Debunking an old perspective about networking or databases

Copies of the accepted papers will be made publicly available via the Web prior to the workshop. Proceedings will be made available as an IEEE formal electronic post-workshop proceeding, where the papers will be included in the digital library of IEEE CS. We are investigating a special issue of a journal to publish a selected set of accepted papers.
