[DMANET] MASSIVE 2014 Call for Papers

===============================
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).

http://madalgo.au.dk/events/massive-2014/

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.
