2nd IEEE International Workshop on Networking Meets Databases (NetDB'06)
                 April 2, 2006 / Atlanta, GA, USA
            http://www.cs.brown.edu/research/db/netdb06/

                         in cooperation with
        22nd IEEE Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE 2006)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The Second Workshop on Networking Meets Databases, NetDB'06, will
bring together researchers in the networking and database
communities. We are witnessing the blurring of the traditional
boundaries between these two disciplines, most clearly in the emerging
areas of peer-to-peer networks, sensor networks, and distributed
information systems. The goal of the workshop is to promote discussion
of ideas that will influence and foster continued research that draws
heavily from both communities. The workshop will provide a venue for
researchers to discuss key challenges and present new ideas that can
significantly impact both communities, and perhaps give birth to a new
community in the long term.

We encourage submissions across the broad range of topics that lie at
the intersection of networking and databases, specifically including
peer-to-peer systems, sensor networks, widely-distributed query
processing, data dissemination, and networked storage. Topics of
interest in this context include, but are not limited to:

    *  Architectures and applications for widely-distributed systems
    *  Data analysis for network traffic estimation and security
    *  Data mining and retrieval in widely-distributed systems
    *  Data models, query models, and query languages for networking
    *  Networked data placement and storage
    *  Distributed data structures for data management
    *  Distributed stream processing and dissemination
    *  Dynamic schema integration in peer-to-peer and sensor networks
    *  Indexing, caching, and replication techniques for wide-area  
storage
    *  Query planning, execution, and optimization in networked systems
    *  Transaction management for peer-to-peer networks

The selection of NetDB papers will be based primarily on their
originality and potential to influence future research. This influence
can be exercised in many ways, exemplified by but not limited to the
following:

    *  Describing a novel approach to an old problem
    *  Describing a new problem that requires our attention
    *  Articulating a new perspective about networking and databases
    *  Debunking an old perspective about networking or databases

Submissions should be in the form of extended abstracts following the
IEEE double-column format and no longer than 6 pages. Detailed
submission information will be posted on the workshop web site
(http://www.cs.brown.edu/research/db/netdb06/).

The review process is NOT blind - each contributing author should be
included on the first page. Only electronic submissions in PostScript
or PDF will be accepted. Submissions must be written in English,
render without error using standard tools (Ghostview or Acrobat
Reader) and print on US Letter paper.
