10th IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Big Data Management (DBDM 2025) 

The goal of the workshop

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 2025 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 2025 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 2025 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. 

Workshop theme

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 nine editions, four co-located with  IEEE/ACM CCGRID conference series and five co-located with IEEE COMPSAC, the  aim of the 10th International Workshop on Distributed Big Data Management (DBDM 2025) 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.
