It provides a unique opportunity to meet and learn from leading practitioners from science, industry, and academia working on real-world solutions for handling terabytes and petabytes of data. This year, the XLDB event consists of three elements: 1) a two-day, open conference (Sept 11-12) 2) one full day of tutorials (Sept 10) 3) a one-day invitational workshop (Sept 13) This year's conference includes in-depth presentations about selected industrial and scientific reference cases, with a focus on health care and biology. Cloud computing at scale with a focus on private clouds, as well as hardware and infrastructure trends and their impact on the future of extreme scale systems will be discussed.

Lytras (American College of Greece, Greece) and Dr Jose Emilio Labra Gayo (University of Oviedo, Spain) To be published by IGI Global: www.igi-global.com Introduction Tim Berners-Lee coined the term “Linked Data” in his Linked Data Web architecture note. It refers to a way of publishing and interlinking structured data on the Web and in simple words, basically Linked Data aims to enable people to share structured data on the Web as easily as they can share documents today. The basic assumption behind this term is that the usefulness and value of data increases the more it is interlinked with other data. According to Tim Berners-Lee (2006), “like the web of hypertext, the web of data is constructed with documents on the web. However, unlike the web of hypertext, wher</pre> Patricia Ordonez 2012-05-16T14:26:41 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.dbworld/34373 <pre>Call for Papers The 21st ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management Oct. 29 ¨C Nov. 2, 2012, Sheraton, Maui, Hawaii http://www.cikm2012.org Sponsored by: ACM SIGIR and SIGWEB The 21st ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM 2012) will be held from October 29 to November 2, 2012 in Maui, Hawaii, USA.
