The Second Workshop on Networking Meets Databases, NetDB'06, will bring together
researchers in the networking and database communities. We are witnessing the
blurring of the traditional boundaries between these two disciplines, most
clearly in the emerging areas of peer-to-peer networks, sensor networks, and
distributed information systems. The goal of the workshop is to promote
discussion of ideas that will influence and foster continued research that draws
heavily from both communities. The workshop will provide a venue for researchers
to discuss key challenges and present new ideas that can significantly impact
both communities, and perhaps give birth to a new community in the long term.
We encourage submissions across the broad range of topics that lie at the
intersection of networking and databases, specifically including peer-to-peer
systems, sensor networks, widely-distributed query processing, data
dissemination, and networked storage. Topics of interest in this context
include, but are not limited to:
* Architectures and applications for widely-distributed
systems
* Data analysis for network traffic estimation and security
* Data mining and retrieval in widely-distributed systems
* Data models, query models, and query languages for
networking
* Networked data placement and storage
* Distributed data structures for data management
* Distributed stream processing and dissemination
* Dynamic schema integration in peer-to-peer and sensor
networks
* Indexing, caching, and replication techniques for wide-area
storage
* Query planning, execution, and optimization in networked
systems
* Transaction management for peer-to-peer networks
The selection of NetDB papers will be based primarily on their originality and
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
* Describing a new problem that requires our attention
* Articulating a new perspective about networking and
databases
* Debunking an old perspective about networking or databases
Submissions should be in the form of extended abstracts following the IEEE
double-column format and no longer than 6 pages.
The review process is NOT blind; each contributing author should be included on
the first page. Only electronic submissions in PostScript or PDF will be
accepted. Submissions must be written in English, render without error using
standard tools (Ghostview or Acrobat Reader) and print on US Letter paper.
