MASSIVE 2014 Call for Papers
===============================
Sixth Workshop on Massive Data Algorithmics (MASSIVE 2014)
will take place on September 11, 2014 in Wrocław, Poland as part
of ALGO 2014
immediately following the European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA).
The workshop has no formal proceedings, so work presented at
the workshop can also be (or have been) presented at other
conferences.
===============================
Important Dates:
Submission deadlines:
- Paper submission: July 14, 2014 11:59pm HAST
- Author Notification: July 28,
2014
- Camera-ready version: August 11, 2014
===============================
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 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 and distributed algorithms
for massive data problems
- Engineering massive data algorithms
===============================
Paper submission:
We invite submissions of extended abstracts of original
research. The submission should begin with the title of the paper, each
author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, followed by a succinct
statement of the problems considered, the main results, an explanation
of their significance, and a comparison to past research, all of which
should be easily understood by non-specialists. More technical
developments follow as appropriate. Use 11-point or larger font in
single column format, with one-inch or wider margins all around. You
may include a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at the
discretion of the committee. The submission, excluding title page,
bibliography and appendix, must not exceed 10 pages (authors should
feel free to send submissions that are significantly shorter than 10
pages).
Extended
abstract should be submitted through the EasyChair website by
July 14th. Authors will be notified about acceptance by July 28th.
There will be no formal proceedings, so work presented at the
workshop can also be (or have been) presented at other
conferences. An informal collection of the extended abstracts will
be provided to the workshop participants. An
author of each accepted abstract is expected to
give a presentation of the abstract at the workshop.
