Workgoup Meeting, April 14, 2010 - Menuires, The Three Valleys, French Alps, France
17:30 - 18:30

Attendance: TBD

Agenda: one tutorial was presented:

  • Protecting Critical Telecommunications and Networking Infrastructure

as well as three keynore speeches:

  • Multimedia Data Distribution and Processing in IP Networks
  • Cyber-physical systems for aeronautical applications
  • I have a Dream - Vision on Database Technology

and an expert panel:

  • NoSQL (Not only SQL) Databases

Tutorials are posted at http://www.iaria.org/tutorials.html

Keynote speeches are posted at http://www.iaria.org/speeches.html

Discussions:

  • The promotion of young researches and PhD candidates was again reinforced; they can play different roles, and they are encouraged of being session chairs.
  • An open call to suggest regular refresh to the topics for DBKDA 2011was launched
  • Please have a look at DBKDA 2011
    Suggestions are welcome at petre@iaria.org
  • The procedure of invitation-only for extended versions of selected papers among those presented for on-line IARIA journals, with no additional fees, was appreciated.
    See: www.iariajournals.org

Suggestions:

  • Continue with ‘Poster’ and ‘Work in Progress’ tracks
  • Definitively, the technical program committee must be tuned to reflect new topics and assure a fair peer-to-peer review process.

Special topics for further consideration:

  • It is the IARIA Board position that everybody should benefit the same access and service during the conference; some suggested to have partial services and reduced registration fees for students. A detailed discussion went on the structure of the registration fees, simply sharing with the audience where each penny goes.
  • A particular suggestion will be implemented from the next event: Student Consortium.
  • Another suggestion was to have many POPs; while feasible, the drawback is that this will split the community. A try will be prepared for the next event.

Proceeding publications:

  • The option to publish in an open digital library was discussed; this will allow having all the proceedings of the co-located events on the same CD Proceedings, and full free access to any publication.
  • This issue will be carried further on to the IARIA Board to careful attention.
  • It was suggested that some national research Centers encourage scientist to rather publish in openly searchable digital libraries.

Next steps:

  • Develop the new topics via off-line exchanges
  • Extend invitations for DBKDA 2011 committee membership
  • Attract scientists in the committee to cover the newly intended areas

  • Excellent discussions around these special talks.
  • There were discussions on enlarging the dissemination of DBKDA and adding new topics related to:-self-managing DBs, query optimization, XML&DB, Business Intelligence (knowledge discovery), data access technologies, Geo/special DB applications, DB Applications for Life Sciences, Mobile DBs, etc.
  • Help is expected from all the committee members for a careful dissemination of the Call for Papers, avoiding spamming
  • The promotion of young researchers was appreciated (Sunanda Patro, Farid Bourennani);.
  • More work for preparing DBKDA 2010 will be done offline, with volunteers (Fritz Laux, Lena Strömbäck, Fabio Gullo, Gilles Mathieu, Chris Ireland, Aristotelis Giannakos)
