Call for Participation: Workshop on Self-Managing Database Systems

5th International Workshop on Self-Managing Database Systems (SMDB 2010) March 1, 2010, Long Beach, California, USA In conjunction with the 26th IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE 2010) March 1-6, 2010 http://db.uwaterloo.ca/tcde-smdb/smdb10/ Database management systems are growing rapidly in scale and complexity, while skilled administrators are becoming rarer and more expensive. Adding autonomic, or self-managing, capabilities to these systems promises easier use and maintenance. While considerable progress has been made in this direction, trends like cloud computing, MapReduce, virtualization, and software-as-a-service pose new challenges. The SMDB workshop brings together innovative researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas related to autonomic database management systems.
