Submission deadline   June 3rd, 2020, 5pm PDT

Objective:
Big data processing is now widely employed in all aspects of our lives. Parts or copies of a huge amount of data are stored in separate locations, and is difficult to collect and process heterogeneous data in a centralized manner, as it would be exceedingly inefficient to transfer them over the network. We therefore need new software foundations based on which big data can be efficiently analyzed and shared in a distributed way.
SFDI 2020 is a workshop held in conjunction with VLDB 2020. It aims at fostering discussion, exchange, and innovation in research and development in software foundations for data interoperability as well as the applications in real-world systems such as data markets. SFDI 2020 invites not only people form database community but also researchers and professionals from programming language, software engineering, distributed computing, and natural language processing to share their knowledge and experience. For example, bidirectional transformation has been intensively studied in both database and programming language communities to address the view update problem, and a recent trend is to use bidirectional transformation for data sharing and data interoperability in P2P networks. In addition, many machine learning and natural language processing models have been utilized for data management, especially for data integration tasks. We thus hope to bring together academia and 
industry people in related areas for the discussion of challenges and technical solutions to software foundations of data interoperability. SFDI 2020 solicits full and short research papers describing preliminary and ongoing research results.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Bidirectional Programming
Data Exchange
Data Fusion
Data Integration
Data Interoperability
Data Lake
Data Market
Data Provenance
Data Sharing
Data Synchronization
Distributed Collaborative Systems
Distributed Data Management
Entity Resolution
Federated Learning
Inverse Programming
Large-scale Data Analysis
Machine Learning for Data Management and Vice Versa
Natural Language Processing
P2P Data Management
Query Optimization
Query Parallelization
Schema Mapping
Semantic Web

Submission Guidelines
All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled electronically. Submissions must adhere to the paper formatting instructions. Research papers will be judged for quality and relevance through single-blind reviewing, where authors MUST include their names and affiliations on the manuscript cover page. Submissions should be uploaded at CMT.
