================================================= Workshop on Information Integration Methods, Architectures, and Systems (IIMAS) http://daks.ucdavis.edu/IIMAS08 Friday/Saturday April 11-12, 2008 In conjunction with ICDE 2008 =================================================
Information integration continues to play a mission critical role in a diversity of applications from E-Commerce to life sciences to ecology to disaster management. These applications rely on the ability to integrate information from multiple heterogeneous sources. The requirements range from robust well engineered and reliable solutions to on-the-fly best effort integration. While there has been much progress in formalizing a research framework and developing methodologies and architectures, the emergence of Web 2.0, distributed sensor networks, data streams, P2P networks, etc., continue to raise new challenges.
This workshop will bring together a diverse group of researchers from the database, AI and WWW communities. The topics to be addressed include methods, architectures, and systems to support information integration.
We solicit the following types of submissions: - RESEARCH papers (8 pages). - EXPERIENCE papers describing an interesting application or a case study (4 or 8 pages). - DEMONSTRATION papers (4 pages).
Topics will include but are not limited to the following: - Scalability of schema matching - Schema matching under uncertainty - Best effort schema matching - Visualizing, composing and understanding schema mappings - Architectures and systems for integration - Engineering issues in information integration - Best effort and on-the-fly integration - Mash-Ups and Web2.0 - Dataspaces - Pay-As-You-Go integration approaches - Domain specific integration approaches, e.g., geo-spatial integration - Integration of scientific data - Semantic Web and information integration - Data and workflow provenance - Quality, security and privacy challenges - Economic incentives and ownership - Emerging applications
