SCOPE OF WORKSHOP
-----------------
We cordially invite you to submit your contribution to SSPS'2009. Research topics of interest for this workshop include different aspects related to the design and implementation of highly scalable stream processing systems (SPS) including, but not limited to:

- Optimization, processing, placement, and scheduling of queries in SPSs
- Adaptation, load balancing, and dynamic reconfiguration in SPSs
- Quality of service, admission control, and graceful degradation in SPSs
- Failure recovery, fault-tolerance, and reliability in SPSs
- Persistence support and integration of stored data in SPSs
- Data mining and knowledge discovery in SPSs
- Information dissemination and publish/subscribe functionality in SPSs
- Mobile and location-based service support in SPSs
- Peer-to-Peer and overlay network support in SPSs
- Information integration and data source wrapping in SPSs
- Interaction of service oriented architectures and SPSs
- Security and privacy in SPSs
- Benchmarking and performance evaluation in SPSs
- SPS exploiting emerging computer architectures (multi-core, cell)
- Applications and case-studies in SPSs

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
---------------
SSPS'09 will feature a keynote talk by Dr Tim Cornwell (from Australia's CSIRO -- Australia Telescope National Facility) on the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP)/Square Kilometer Array (SKA) projects. Both projects encompass large-scale stream processing applications.
