Third DIALOGUE Workshop: Towards the Next Generation of Data Grid software - February 26 & 27, 2007, Vienna.


The DIALOGUE workshops aim to bring together researchers and developers to create a framework that composes a range of complementary technologies and research efforts in order to make these readily available to researchers and scientific organizations world-wide. Together, partipants can create an international effort to push data access and integration (DAI) tools and standards into new territory, envisioning more ambitious data integration architectures, well-adapted for semantic grids, simulation, analysis, data mining, and visualization.
Presentations and discussions at this third DIALOGUE workshop seek to cover both the current status of data integration work across the world, and the future challenges that must be addressed. In addition to overviews of various architectures, presentations will discuss how such issues can be generalized and abstracted so that they can be addressed by existing grid middleware and/or propose potential middleware approaches to address these issues.
Among specific issues to be discussed are storage and management of extremely large data, data mining and warehousing, dealing with complex and varying models of data, querying and subsetting of large datasets, integration of multiple data types, integration across multiple scales of data, fine grain access control, and management and execution of data- and compute-intensive workflows. In particular, we address the domain of multiple, diverse and spearately curated data sources on which traditional techniques cannot be applied. Middleware solutions reviewed include OGSA-DAI, DQP, Mobius, DataCutter, STORM, dQUOB, Calder, and GridMiner.
We are seeking potential presentations for the workshop in three areas:
Short presentation abstracts (less than 500 words) should be submitted by 18 February 2007.
