						CALL FOR PAPERS

			4th International Workshop on XML Data Management Tools and Techniques (XANTEC 2009)
				http://www.cais.ntu.edu.sg/xantec2009/

					     in conjunction with

			The 20th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA 2009)
					    31 Aug - 4 Sept, 2009
					       Linz, Austria

BACKGROUND:

XML has evolved as the new standard for the representation and exchange of both structured and semistructured data. XML´s ability to succinctly describe complex information can also be used for specifying application meta-data. Since its inception eleven years ago, XML´s popularity is evident from its use in a wide spectrum of application domains: from document publication, to computational chemistry, health care and life sciences, multimedia and e-commerce. Increasing popularity of web-based business and the emergence of web services that use XML-based descriptions in WSDL and exchange XML messages with SOAP have led to further acceptance of XML.

XANTEC 2009 invites original research contributions as well as reports on prototype systems related to all aspects of XML data management tools and techniques. Like the earlier editions of the XANTEC workshop series, XANTEC 2009 will be held just during DEXA conference in Linz, Austria. One of the key objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers in this area who can share their views under this workshop.

TOPICS OF INTEREST:

Topics of interest include the following (though interesting and/or innovative papers on all aspects of XML are welcome):

*Tools/Techniques for XML schema discovery
*Tools/Techniques for XML schema validation and constraints
*Tools/Techniques for XML data integration
*Tools/Techniques for XML data storage and indexing
*Tools/Techniques for realizing XML query languages and optimization
*Tools/Techniques for XML views and data publishing
*Tools/Techniques for XML applications in semantic web
*Tools/Techniques for XML data mining
*Tools/Techniques for XML change management
*Tools/Techniques for XML views and data mappings
*Tools/Techniques for XML data security
*Tools/Techniques for XML data privacy
*Tools/Techniques for XML data compression
*Tools/Techniques for XML in Web services
*Tools/Techniques for XML benchmark and performance studies
*Tools/Techniques for XML applications in new domains- sensor and biological data management

 

IMPORTANT DATES:


Paper Submission Deadline: 12th April, 2009
Notification: 11th May, 2009
Camera-ready Copy Due: 19th May, 2009
Workshop Date: To be announced ...

 

PAPER SUBMISSION:

The full paper submission is limited to 5 pages in length (IEEE ICDE Format). Simultaneous submission to another conference/workshop/journal is not allowed. Authors are invited to submit papers in the following tracks:

Research Track: High quality papers describing original research contributions relevant to the open list of topics sketched above. We strongly welcome innovative, non-traditional, "early stage" techniques related to XML data management. Research papers must be original and have not been published or under consideration for publications elsewhere.

Prototype Track: Papers should focus on prototype description in the area of XML data management, showing new technological advances in applying innovative data management/processing techniques in the context of XML. The selection criteria for the prototype papers include: the novelty, the technical advances and challenges, and the overall practical attractiveness of the prototype system. The authors of accepted papers must demonstrate the prototype during their presentation in the workshop.

Papers will be reviewed by at least 3 program committee members. Submissions to the research and prototype tracks are made through the submission site at www.dexa.org
