Call for Participation: the First Extremely Large Databases Conference
at Asia (XLDB Asia 2012)

http://www.xldb-asia.org

The Extremely Large Databases (XLDB) series of Conferences/workshops
(xldb.org) have been held successfully in USA and Europe in recent
years. The first XLDB satellite conference at Asia (XLDB Asia) will be
held at Beijing, China on June 22-23, 2012.

This conference will bring together people with highly demanding data
challenges, and researchers and solution providers who are developing
systems to address such challenges.

The conference will facilitate discussions on:
* The state of the art data handling technologies on extremely large datasets; 
* Practical use cases of current and anticipated data challenges;
* Lessons and innovations on building extremely large databases;
* Trends and strategies for surmounting current hurdles.

The conference will provide a meeting place for database researchers,
for businesses with advanced solutions, and for people from many
research disciplines, industries and organizations who need to
urgently address real data challenges.

The program will include invited talks representing database-intensive
scientific and industrial applications, database research and DBMS
vendors.  The conference will also invite proposals for lightning
talks (allocated five minutes per talk), followed by poster
discussions.  If you are interested in giving a lightning talk, please

lightningtalks [at] xldb-asia.org
