The 1st International Workshop on Graph-structured Data Bases (GDB 2011)

http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/~gdb2011/

In Conjunction with DASFAA 2011 22 April, Hong Kong, China

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recent applications on graph-structured data, for example, biological
and chemical databases, social networks, business process models, the
Semantic Web and XML, have sparked a renewed interest on
graph-structured databases. The GDB workshop targets at bringing
academic and industrial researchers together to share their knowledge
and opinions on visions, challenges and solutions on graph-structured
databases. The workshop solicits original research contributions,
reports on prototype systems, reports on industrial experience,
position paper and vision paper on a wide range of topics of
graph-structured databases.

The main topics of interest covered by the workshop include, but
certainly not limited to:

Query models and languages for graph-structured data
Performance optimization in graph-structured databases
Graph pattern matching
Mining graph-structured data
Querying graph-structured data streams
Querying the Semantic Web (RDF) graphs, ontologies or social networks
Keyword search on graph-structured data
Graph-structured databases on modern architecture
Querying distributed and/or heterogeneous graph-structured data
Query visualization and interactive interfaces for graph-structured data
Querying biological or chemical databases
Applications of graph data management including Business Process
Management and geometrical information systems
