Aim and ScopeTremendous 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:
Paper submissionWe 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. 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.ParticipationThe 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. Program committeePankaj Agarwal (Duke)
