ICALP 2003 Satellite Workshop on Algorithms for Massive Data Sets

                            Call For Papers

             WORKSHOP ON ALGORITHMS FOR MASSIVE DATA SETS

                    ICALP 2003 Satellite Workshop
              Eindhoven, The Netherlands, June 29, 2003
                    http://www.brics.dk/massive03/


SCOPE AND TOPICS
================

Data sets in large applications are often too massive to fit
completely inside the computer's internal memory. The resulting data
transfer (or I/O) between fast internal memory and slower external
memory (such as disks) can be a major performance bottleneck. During
the last decade a major body of research has been devoted to the
development of efficient external memory algorithms, where the goal is
to exploit locality in order to reduce the I/O costs.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together the scientific community
formed by the researchers working in this field and the related fields
of cache-aware, cache-oblivious, and multi-level memory algorithms,
and to provide a forum for the exchange and dissemination of new
ideas, techniques, and research.

Theoretical and experimental papers are sought on all aspects of
algorithms and models for hierarchical memory, including (but not
limited to):

 - External memory algorithms and data structures, including graph
   theory, computational geometry, combinatorics, strings, data bases,
   and scientific computing.
 - Cache-aware algorithms
 - Cache-oblivious algorithms 
 - Algorithms for multi-level hierarchical memory 
 - Computational models and complexity 
 - External memory applications, libraries, and tools
