Call for Papers
International Workshop on Very Large Data Warehouses
VLDWH Workshop 2002
In Conjunction with DEXA 2002
Aix-en-Provence, France
September 2 - 6, 2002
The objective of the International Workshop on Very Large Data Warehouses is to bring together researchers and practitioners to
discuss research issues and experience in developing and deploying large databases for the purpose of data warehousing and knowledge
discovery systems, applications, and experiences with such systems.
VLDWH2002 invites submissions on a broad range of topics, including
the new challenges for global data management posed by very large datawarehouse applications, data mining, distributed and parallel data
warehouses, grid databases and query optimization.
VLDWH solicits both short and full-length papers on all areas of very
large data warehouses management. Vision papers describing research projects that are about to start and experience papers that describe
industrial application projects are also actively solicited and will be considered separately for special sessions. Submissions will be
read by the program committee and designated reviewers and judged on scientific merit, innovation, readability and
relevance. Papers previously published or already being reviewed by another conference
are not eligible; if a closely related paper has been submitted to a journal, the authors must notify the program
chair.
The main topics of VLDWH2002 will include, but are not limited to:
- Active data warehousing
- Analytical processing and OLAP for distributed and parallel DWHs
- Benchmarks
- Case Studies
- DWHs for (intra- and interorganizational) business process analysis
- Data mining/knowledge discovery
- Data warehouse architecture for terabyte scale data repositories
- Data warehouse reliability and high availability issues
- Data warehouses for business processes with very high data rates
- Data warehouses for multimedia content and digital libraries
- Distributed and parallel data mining and knowledge discovery
- Distributed and parallel database systems and data warehouses
- Fragmentation of multidimensional databases
- Grid databases and DWHs
- Index structures for very large multidimensional data warehouses
- Materialized view maintenance and adaptation
- Processes and methodologies for deploying very large DWH systems
- Query optimization for very large, distributed and parallel DWHs
- Security and privacy issues
- Statistical databases
- Virtual data warehouses and on-the-fly data integration

Submission Details
Authors are invited to submit research contributions representing original, previously unpublished work. Submitted papers will be
carefully evaluated using an anonymous reviwing process. Selection of papers for publication is based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. All papers will be
refereed by at least two members of the program committee or external reviewers. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society
Press as proceedings of the DEXA 2002 workshops. All submitted papers must be formatted according to the author guidelines provided by IEEE
Computer Society Press and must not be longer than 5000 words.
Submitted papers must be in English and must contain an
abstract. Papers should be submitted electronically, preferably in
Portable Document Format (PDF), although portable PostScript will also
be accepted. All submissions must contain a cover page stating the
paper title, contact author and address and a list of
keywords. Submission of the papers must occur no later than March 29,
2002. This is a hard deadline.
Authors will be notified of the acceptance or rejection of their
papers by April 19, 2002. Final versions of accepted papers must be
received in camera-ready form by May 10, 2002. The proceedings will be
published by the IEEE. Authors should read the IEEE Author Guidelines
and related information. For additional information please feel free
to contact the Program Co-Chairs (tomsich@ifs.tuwien.ac.at or
bruckner@ifs.tuwien.ac.at).
Authors should submit papers either:
