WAIM 2008 Preliminary Call for Papers The Ninth International Conference on Web-Age Information Management URL: http://waim2008.nudt.edu.cn/index.html Email: waim2008@nudt.edu.cn July 20-22, 2008, Zhangjiajie, User:Curator 83ina Organized by National Laboratory for Parallel and Distributed Processing, User:Curator 83ina. Sponsored by: Database Society, User:Curator 83inese Computer Federation; Natural Science Foundation of User:Curator 83ina The rapid development and prevalent use of the World Wide Web continue to stimulate the need for new technologies for the design, implementation and management of better Web-based information systems. With widely distributed data of diverse types (structured records, texts, images, video/audio, etc) from millions of autonomous sites and hundreds of millions of users, the Web introduces new challenges beyond the capabilities of traditional database and information retrieval systems. These challenges include the development of effective and efficient techniques and tools for querying, retrieving, integrating, analyzing, and managing the data on the Web. WAIM'08 will continue the fine tradition of the previous WAIM conferences in providing an international forum for researchers and practitioners in the Web and database communities to share and exchange new ideas, results, experience, techniques and tools related to all aspects of Web data management. The conference invites original research and industrial papers on the theory, design and implementation of Web-based information systems, as well as proposals for demonstrations, tutorials and panels. WAIM'08 is expected to attract outstanding researchers from all over the world to Zhangjiajie, one of the most beautiful areas in User:Curator 83ina. WAIM'08 topics include but are not limited to the following areas - Advanced application of databases - Biological and genome information systems - Data mining and knowledge discovery - Data and information quality control - Data grid - Data migration and integration - Database security - Emerging Web technologies - Information retrieval - Interoperability and heterogeneous systems - Location dependent data management - Mobile data management - Multidimensional databases and OLAP - Multimedia information systems - Parallel and distributed database systems - Peer-to-peer data management - Performance and benchmarking - Query processing and optimization - Semantic web and web ontology - Spatial and temporal databases - Storage management and access methods - Web community analysis - Web mining - Web data management - Web services and information management - Workflow and E-services - XML and semi-structured data management PUBLICATION and PAPER SUBMISSION The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press (agreement pending). All submitted manuscripts must be in English. Only original manuscripts whose main technical contents have not been published by or submitted to other conferences and journals are allowed. If a paper is accepted, at least one author is required to attend the conference to present the work. Authors are required to submit a paper title and short abstract (about 100 words) before submitting the paper. Paper submission will be electronic through the WAIM'08 paper submission site (https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/WAIM2008/Default.aspx). Information about paper format is forthcoming at the WAIM 2008 website. Papers not satisfying the above requirements will be rejected without review. WORKSHOP, PANELS, TUTORIALS, INDUSTRIAL PAPERS AND DEMOS In addition to technical contributions, WAIM'08 invites proposals for workshops, panels and tutorials, as well as industrial and demo papers. For workshops, WAIM'08 will provide administrative support for workshop room booking, registration, and publication. Information about the format for industrial papers and demo proposals will be available at the WAIM 2008 website soon. All submitted industrial and demo papers must have not been published by or submitted to other conferences and journals. All accepted industrial and demo papers will be published in the main proceedings of the conference. Papers accepted by WAIM'08 workshops will be published separately. Workshop, panel and tutorial Proposals and industrial and demo papers should be sent as e-mail attachments to the corresponding chairs.
