Workshop on Massive Geometric Data Sets
in connection with SoCG 05

June 9, 2005, National Research Council Campus, Pisa, Italy.

Supported by: BRICS, IIT-CNR, Netherlands Organization for Scientific
               Research, University of Muenster.


Aims and Scope:
---------------

The aim of this informal workshop is to provide an opportunity for
established researchers from academia, R&D peoplefrom industry,
research students, and postdocs to meet and present their current work
in order to further scientific interaction and international  
collaboration.

Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

* I/O-efficient algorithms and data structures.
* Cache-oblivious algorithms and data structures.
* Data Stream algorithms.
* Geometric problems in spatial databases.
* Geometric visualization problems.

We also invite contributions that discuss work-in-progress and
open problems and/or that address methodologicalissues and standards
in the context of empirical research on algorithms and data structures
for massive geometric data sets.

The workshop is co-located with SoCG 05 (http://www.socg05.org),
the 21th ACM Symposium on Computational Geometry, and will take place
on the day following the conference.


Participation:
--------------

If you are interested in participating please send email to
"massive2005 at math uni-muenster de" or use the on-line registration  
form
(http://wwwmath.uni-muenster.de/cs/u/jan/IOWorkshop/registration.html).
If you are interested in giving a talk, please also provide a short
abstract (at most one page) of your talk by April 15, 2005.
(Note that since this is a one-day event, it may not be possible for
everyone to give a presentation.) There will be no formal proceedings,
a booklet of abstracts, however, will be handed out to the participants.

The workshop program will be put together by April 29, 2005, and
presenters who wish to contribute extended abstracts of up to five pages
for the booklet of abstracts are encouraged to do so by May 15, 2005.

There will be a separate registration fee of 25 EUR for the workshop.
The payment of this fee will handled (in cash) on-site.
