5th International Workshop on

co-located with ACM SIGMOD
* Workshop Focus and Theme
XIME-P 2008 invites original research contributions as well as reports
on industrial efforts on the implementation, utilization, and overall
prospects of XQuery. Like the earlier editions of the XIME-P workshop series,
XIME-P 2008 will be held just after ACM SIGMOD/PODS conference
(http://www.sigmod08.org/), in Vancouver, Canada.
One year ago, the family of XQuery specifications achieved W3C Recommendation
status, and several industrial-strength XQuery implementations have become
available since then. In particular, all major DBMS vendors have extended their
RDBMS products with XML features and with varying degrees of XQuery support.
In addition, there are companies who are using XQuery for content management,
数据挖掘实验室
web services, etc. A comprehensive list of XQuery implementations can be found at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Query/. With this strong interest in XQuery, the
standardization effort for the next version of XQuery is under way, with a
focus on more powerful features, such as updates, full-text and scripting
extensions.
One of the fascinating aspects of XQuery is that work on the language
specification and its implementation is happening on the verge of database
systems, information retrieval, document processing, and programming languages.
For example, XQuery full-text extensions aim at striking a balance between the
worlds of structured and unstructured data. XQuery has attracted users from a
wide variety of application domains, and its use is not limited to traditional
DB server architectures. Computer science research and industry have found quite
a number of promising -- and sometimes completely disjoint -- avenues to approach 数据挖掘论坛
the challenges resulting from these different XQuery usage scenarios. This
''heterogeneity'' in contributions and attendees has been a source of lively
discussions, panels, and an interesting technical program for previous XIME-P
editions.
The XIME-P 2008 program will feature talks and panels on research as well as
demonstrations and industrial efforts on the implementation and utilization of
XQuery.
* XIME-P 2008 Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include the following (though interesting and/or innovative
papers on all aspects of XQuery are welcome):
* XQuery variants and extensions
- Coherent XQuery subsets
- Embedded XQuery
- Distributed XQuery
- Scripting /programming with XQuery
- XQuery full-text extensions
* XQuery applications and architectures 数据挖掘研究院
- The role of XQuery in Web
2.0 数据挖掘交友
- XQuery and computing in the sciences
- XQuery for information retrieval
* Optimization of XQuery for demanding applications
- Compilation vs. interpretation
- Cost-based optimization strategies
- Schema-awareness in storage and processing
* XQuery lessons learned
- Performance evaluation
- XQuery debugging
- Teaching XQuery
-- Keynote Speech
Jim Melton (Oracle, XQuery W3C Working Group Chair) will deliver the XIME-P
2008 workshop’s keynote address.
-- Paper Submission
XIME-P 2008 calls for original contributions relevant to the open list of
topics sketched above. We explicitly welcome ''war stories'', and reports on
innovative, off-beat, and ''early stage'' approaches to the implementation and
application of XQuery as long as the submission meets the high quality standards 数据挖掘论坛
of the XIME-P workshop series.
+ Papers should be formatted according to the ACM guidelines and
SIG proceedings templates available at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html
+ Papers should not exceed 6 pages in length (including references and appendices).
+ Papers should be submitted in PDF.
+ More details on the submission process will be given on the XIME-P 2008 web
site (http://www.ximep2008.org).
-- Workshop Proceedings Publication
The primary publication medium for XIME-P has been and will be SIGMOD DiSC.
This mode of publication ensures wide dissemination and high visibility (e.g.,
in the ACM Digital Library and Michael Ley's DBLP index). Online proceedings will
be additionally hosted at the workshop web site,
http://www.ximep2008.org. 数据挖掘工具
For inclusion in SIGMOD DiSC, we will ask the authors to transfer their copyrights
accordingly.
