IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR COMPSAC 2022 AUTHORS 

Because of uncertainties related to Covid 19, COMPSAC 2022, currently planned as an in-person event to be held in Turin, Italy, may be conducted in a hybrid format – with some sessions in-person and some over the Internet. If the conference format is hybrid, authors of accepted papers will be able to decide to present their papers either virtually or in-person in Turin. 

However, if the pandemic worsens, the conference will be completely virtual as it was in 2020 and 2021, and all presentations will be done virtually. We will announce in the submission acceptance letters to authors whether the conference will be hybrid or virtual. Registration fees will be adjusted to reflect the format of the conference.

7th IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Big Data Management (DBDM 2022)

 Big Data Management is of relevant interest at now, and it can be considered as one of the most emerging research topics we deal with. In particular, the management of Big Data in distributed settings (like Clouds) is demanding for innovative models, techniques and algorithms capable of dealing with the well-known Vs of such kind of data. 

Indeed, traditional approaches are not suitable to manage Big Data in distributed environments, due to the Volume, Velocity and Variety of Big Data. Starting from this evidence, recently we experienced novel proposals that are trying to creating applications and systems that, running on top of distributed settings like Clouds, effectively and efficiently manage Big Data as to support a wide range of contexts, among which analytics, knowledge discovery and cybersecurity methods are just some relevant examples. 

Despite these initiatives, lot of work still needs to be done in such research area, as it encompasses a large collection of topics ranging from data management algorithms to high-performance techniques. Topics are both of theoretical nature (e.g., managing uncertain and imprecise distributed Big Data) and practical nature (e.g., Big Data dissemination in distributed environments). 

 Following the great success of the previous six editions, four co-located with IEEE/ACM CCGRID conference series and two co-located with IEEE COMPSAC, the aim of the 7th International Workshop on Distributed Big Data Management (DBDM 2022) is to capture the new research trends and results in terms of models, techniques, algorithms, architecture and applications for the management of Big Data in distributed environments. This workshop will also identify potential research directions and technologies that will drive innovations within this domain. We anticipate this workshop to establish a pathway for the development of future-generation large-scale Big Data management systems.

In the last few years there have been an increasing number of initiatives to develop distributed Big Data management platforms for diversified application domains, from e-science to large-scale sensor network monitoring. Many national and international research projects in academia, industry and government focus on the development and deployment of distributed Big Data management systems. Apart from companies working in the Big Data domain, there are also initial important investments in this field from social networks to Web advertisement, from astronomic data management to biological data management, as so forth. There are already several workshops oriented to Big Data management systems, however none of them focus on distributed Big Data management as major topic, where distributed models, techniques, algorithms and architectures play the first-class role. Thus the establishment of a new venue in which the definition of novel models, techniques, algorithms and architectures for supporting the distributed management of Big Data is discussed and disseminated, may enable new research ideas and launch new business pathways. 

The DBDM 2022 workshop aims to synergistically connect the research community and industry practitioners. It provides an international forum where scientific domain experts, database researchers, practitioners and developers can share their findings in theoretical foundations, current methodologies, and practical experiences on distributed management of Big Data. DBDM 2022 provides a stimulating environment to encourage discussion, fellowship, and exchange ideas in all aspects of research related to distributed management of Big Data, including both original research contributions and insights from practical system design, implementation and evaluation, along with new research directions and emerging application domains in the area of distributed management of Big Data. The realistic outcome expected by DBDM 2022 is to define new problems in the context of distributed management of Big Data and achieving consolidated solutions to already-known problems. Also, another relevant goal it to create a focused community of scientists who create and drive interest in the area of distributed management of Big Data, and possibly to continue to contribute to the success of the event across years.
