International Workshop on SoLoMo Data in the Cloud (SDC)
http://www.nec-labs.com/dm/sdc2012/ Co-located with ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2012 (http://acmgis2012.cs.umd.edu/) November 6th 2012, Redondo Beach, California ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- When people on the move consume location-based services, join social networks, check into restaurants, or read local news, they knowingly or unknowingly access, query, and consume spatial data in the cloud. Cloud computing has emerged as a promising computing and business model to support the backends of Social-Location-Mobile (SoLoMo) applications. This workshop aims at understanding the unique challenges of spatial, social and mobile data in the cloud that is not typically encountered in more mainstream data forms. The workshop will target a variety of research topics from acquisition, representation and visualization of spatial, temporal and social network data in the cloud, to systems for processing, querying, and cleaning spatial data. The SDC workshop aims at bringing researchers and practitioners in cloud computing and data management systems dealing with spatial data to discuss research issues at the intersection of these areas, and draw more attention from the larger data management research community to this new and highly promising field. TOPICS ------- The SDC workshop invites papers broadly related to the following set of topics: - SoLoMo Data Management in the Cloud - Cloud Technologies for Spatial-Temporal Data - Computational Geometry, Data Mining Operations in the Cloud - GIS Architecture and Middleware - Location-Based Services - Location Privacy, Data Sharing and Security - Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Data Acquisition - Spatial Data Representation and Visualization - Spatial Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery - Spatial Data Structures and Algorithms - Spatial Data Warehousing, OLAP, and Decision Support - Spatial Data Transactions, Moving Objects - Spatial Data Privacy and Security - Spatial Data Sampling - Spatial Data Infrastructure - Spatio-Textual Searching - Storage and Indexing - Transportation, Traffic, Urban and Environmental Planning - Web and Real-Time Applications PAPER SUBMISSION ----------------- Authors should submit papers reporting original works that are currently not under review or published elsewhere. All submissions must be prepared in the ACM camera-ready format. The workshop solicits both full papers and short papers (e.g. experience reports, preliminary reports of work in progress, etc). Full papers should not exceed 8 pages in length. Short papers should not exceed 4 pages. All accepted papers will also become publicly available through the ACM DL and will also be indexed by DBLP. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- * Paper submission deadline: August 21st, 2012 * Author Notification: September 15th, 2012 * Final Camera-ready Copy Deadline: September 21st, 2012 WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS -------------------- - Hakan Hacigumus, NEC Labs - Jagan Sankaranarayanan, NEC Labs - Anish Das Sarma, Google Research PROGRAM COMMITTEE ----------------- Divy Agrawal, University of California, Santa Barbara Panos Chrysanthis, University of Pittsburgh Johannes Gehrke, Cornell University Christian Jensen, Aarhus University John Krumm, Microsoft Research Hongrae Lee, Google Research Justin Levandoski, Microsoft Research Sharad Mehrotra, University of California at Irvine Sarana Yi Nutanong, University of Maryland Atish Das Sarma, eBay Research Cyrus Shahabi, University of Southern California Adam Silberstein, LinkedIn Xing Xie, Microsoft Research Xiaofang Zhou, University of Queensland |
