Call for Workshops

We invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with ICDE 2005. We solicit proposals for workshops related to the conference topics. Proposals for workshops should stress how they intend to provide more insight into the proposed topics with respect to the main conference. The scope definition of the proposal should encompass only some of the topics of the main conference.

Workshop proposals should be submitted to the workshop chair, Masatoshi Yoshikawa (yosikawa @ itc.nagoya-u.ac.jp) with the title, a description of the topic, and the names of key organizers such as program chair(s), by July 1, 2004. Prior contact with the workshop chair is encouraged.

The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible for advertising their workshop, and for the reviewing process for their workshop's papers, and for the collection of camera-ready copies of accepted papers.

Currently, workshops on the following topics are planned:

• Ubiquitous Data Management (UDM2005) -- In Memoriam Prof. Kambayashi --
• Challenges in Web Information Retrieval and Integration
• Biomedical Data Engineering
• Privacy Data Management
• Autonomic Database Systems
• Realworld Multimedia Corpora in Mobile Environments
• XML Schema and Data Management
