2nd Extremely Large Databases Workshop

We are getting ready for the 2nd XLDB workshop. The website of the 1st XLDB workshop including the final report can be found here.

Where/when

Dates: September 29th and 30th.

Tentative location: SLAC.

The workshop registration will be by-invitation. 

Program

The style of the 2nd workshop will be similar to the 1st one: lots of discussions and very few presentations.

We envision this year's workshop to be a continuation of the discussions we started last year, with the main focus on topics like:

• complex analytics - commonalities between science and industry,
• scalability, fault tolerance and crash recovery of extremely large databases,
• common features needed (provenance?, uncertainty?, time travel?...),
• resource allocation/management,
• on the fly reconfiguration and on the fly data repartitioning.

The goal would be to identify commonalities, understand and prioritize needed features and discuss path forward.

We are also considering:

• having a session about war stories,
• having a dedicated time slot for new startups,
• allocating the second half of the second day for a tutorial related to the new open source database that was proposed at the Asilomar meeting. See the final report for more details about this meeting.
