CFP: Workshop on Updates in XML, with EDBT 2010

Workshop on Updates in XML in conjunction with EDBT/ICDT 2010 March 22, 2010 Lausanne, Switzerland PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS http://www.lri.fr/~waller/updates2010 Important Dates * Paper Submission Deadline: 20 November 2009 * Notification of Acceptance: 15 December 2009 * Camera Ready Copy: 10 January 2010 * Workshop: 22 March 2010 Themes and Goals Updates issues have always been considered in many different areas of databases, as change is inherent to the lifecycle of databases and their applications. Updates arise in every data model, in many different contexts and situations, and raise numerous issues and problems. Over years, a powerful collection of approaches, concepts, techniques and algorithms has been developed. However, many problems remain open, new issues arise in recent data models like XML, semi-structured, graph-based, RDF and probabilistic among others, some widely used in practice, and updates have recently known a new gain of interest. This new interest, along with the importance in practice to deal with updates, is the reason for the workshop. Open problems in general, and new issues in recent models are the focus of the workshop. The goal of the workshop is also to stimulate discussions on reviewing existing results, possibly w.r.t. new issues, and on the connections between the different topics in update management, as well as on future trends. The workshop aims at bringing together academics, practitioners, users and vendors. Topics of Interest We solicit submitted papers that are original contributions, from both researchers and practitioners. The scope of the workshop includes but is not limited to: * Update languages * Conflicting or inconsistent updates * Independence between views and updates for optimization * Type systems for update validation * Incremental validation * Incremental query evaluation and view maintenance * Updates and provenance * Probabilistic updates and updates on probabilistic databases * Dynamic constraints * Schema update languages and schema evolution * View updates * Access control and privacy issues in the presence of updates * Effects of updates on indexing structures * Implementation issues * Update support in systems/products * Effects of updates on applications * Relationships between updates and versions * RDF updates Submission Guidelines Paper submission will be electronic. All formatting should follow ACM guidelines http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. The length of a submission should be no more than 8 pages. Paper Publication Publication for all workshops will be handled together with publications from the main conference.
