[compgeom-announce] DEADLINE APPROACHING: Workshop on Massive Data Algorithmics

[Lars Arge <large@madalgo.au.dk>]

The April 3 deadline for Workshop on Massive Data Algorithmics is 
approaching!

Please note that work can be submitted to the workshop even if has (or 
will be) presented at another conference! There will be no formal 
proceedings for the workshop.


          Workshop on Massive Data Algorithmics

                     June 11, 2009
               Aarhus University, Denmark

       In connection with SoCG'09 and organized by
      Center for Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO)

Aim and Scope
-------------
Tremendous advances in our ability to acquire, store and process data,
as well as the pervasive use of computers in general, have resulted in a
spectacular increase in the amount of data being collected. This
availability of high-quality data has led to major advances in both
science and industry. In general, society is becoming increasingly data
driven, and this trend is likely to continue in the coming years.

The increasing number of applications processing massive data means that
in general focus on algorithm efficiency is increasing. However, the
large size of the data, and/or the small size of many modern computing
devices, also means that issues such as memory hierarchy architecture
often play a crucial role in algorithm efficiency. Thus the availability
of massive data also means many new challenges for algorithm designers.

The aim of the workshop on massive data algorithmcs is to provide a
forum for researchers from both academia and industry interested in
algorithms for massive dataset problems. The scope of the workshop
includes both fundamental algorithmic problems involving massive data,
as well as algorithms for more specialized problems in, e.g., graphics,
databases, statistics and bioinformatics. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to
                    - I/O-efficient algorithms
                    - Cache-oblivious algorithms
                    - Memory hierarchy efficient algorithms
                    - Streaming algorithms
                    - Sublinear algorithms
                    - Parallel algorithms for massive data problem
                    - Engineering massive data algorithms

Paper submission:
-----------------
We invite submissions of extended abstracts (at most 10 pages not
counting references) of original research. Extended abstract should be
submitted through the EasyChair website by April 3 - details will appear
on the workshop website www.madalgo.au.dk/massive2009. Authors will be
notified about acceptance by April 17, and final versions will be due on
May 29. Accepted extended abstracts will be collected in a booklet,
which will be distributed at the workshop. There will be no formal
proceedings, so work presented at the workshop can also be (or have
been) presented at other conferences. An author of each accepted
abstract is expected to give a presentation of the abstract at the workshop.

Participation:
--------------
The workshop will take place on June 11 2009 in Aarhus, Denmark,
immediately following the 25th Annual Symposium on Computational
Geometry (SoCG). Participants should register by May 1 through the SoCG
website http://www.madalgo.au.dk/socg2009/. The workshop will be
relatively informal and have no formal proceedings. However, if the
workshop is successful, it is the plan to consider moving to a more
formal symposium format. Thus all researchers interested in massive data
algorithmics are encouraged to attend the workshop.

About MADALGO:
--------------
Center for MAssive Data ALGOrithmics is a major basic research center
funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The center is located
at the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University, Denmark,
but also includes researchers at CSAIL, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in the US, and at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics
and at Frankfurt University in Germany. The center covers all areas of
the design, analysis and implementation of algorithms and data
structures for processing massive data (interpreted broadly to cover
computations where data is large compared to the computational
resources), but with a main focus on I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious and
data stream algorithms. Refer to www.madalgo.au.dk for more information.
