Hey, I'm helping put together a conference on scientific data management, and I think the Hadoop community has a lot to say on this front. If you have an interest in this area and will be in the Bay Area the first week of October, please read on! Otherwise, my apologies for the noise.
4th Extremely Large Databases (XLDB4) Conference October 6-7, 2010 SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Menlo Park, California XLDB, now including a conference open to all interested parties, is the gathering place for the community managing and analyzing data at extreme scale. Leading practitioners from science, industry, and academia will discuss lessons learned and real-world solutions for handling terabytes and petabytes of data. Experts will present emerging trends that will significantly impact how extremely large databases are built and used. More information, including the program, and online registration are available at <http://www.xldb.org/4>. Space is limited, so if you would like to attend, make sure to register soon. Early registration ($100) ends on July 31; late registration is $150. If you are uncertain whether to attend, I would recommend reading the article recently written by Curt Monash: < http://www.dbms2.com/2010/07/01/why-you-should-go-to-xldb4/> For questions, please contact us by email using < [email protected]> or contact me directly at <[email protected] >.
