Aim and Scope -

XML is widely recognized as the standard de facto for coupling with the heterogeneity of data repositories and software platforms of distributed environments. In light of this, distributed XML processing play a key role in the context of a plethora of modern distributed data, information and knowledge management applications and systems. Distributed XML processing deals with both theoretical and practical aspects, ranging from sophisticated theoretical contributions and tools to efficient algorithms and frameworks. A wide number of open research issues and challenges derive from meaningfully using XML in distributed environments, such as (non exhaustive list):

- Distributed XML Data Management - Distributed XML Query Processing - Distributed XML Indexing Techniques - Distributed XML Information Retrieval - Distributed Data Mining over XML Repositories - Distributed Data Warehousing over XML Repositories - OLAP over Distributed XML Repositories - Distributed Knowledge Discovery from XML Repositories - Distributed Machine Learning over XML Repositories - Decision Support Systems over Distributed XML Repositories - Distributed XML Processing over the Web - Distributed XML Metadata Management - Ontology Engineering over Distributed XML Repositories - XML-based Distributed Web Service Orchestration and Management - XML-based Distributed Process Representation and Mining - XML-based Distributed Workflow Representation and Mining - Methodologies and Tools for Designing Complex Information Systems over Distributed XML Repositories - XML Data and Knowledge Management over Grids - XML Data and Knowledge Management in Mobile Settings - XML Data and Knowledge Management in P2P Settings - XML Data and Schema Integration in Distributed Environments - DTD-based XML Schema Validation in Distributed Environments - XMLSchema-based XML Schema Validation in Distributed Environments - Privacy Preserving XML Data and Knowledge Management in Distributed Environments - Security and Access Control Issues over Distributed XML Repositories - Interoperability Issues over Distributed XML Repositories - XML-based Data and Knowledge Management for Distributed Bio-Banks - Distributed High-Performance XML Processing - Data Dissemination Techniques for XML Data - Data Fragmentation Techniques for XML Data - Storage and Compression Issues for Distributed XML Repositories - XML Processing Techniques for Distributed Databases - XML Query Optimization for Distributed Environments - XML Processing Techniques for Distributed Data Warehouses - XML-based ETL for Distributed Data Warehouses

The First International Workshop on Distributed XML Processing: Theory and Practice will be held in Vienna, Austria, during September 22-25, in conjunction with the 38th International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP 2009), focuses but it is not limited to the listed research topics, by posing the emphasis on a theoretical as well as a practical point of view, and provides a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in distributed XML Processing to meet and exchange preliminary ideas and mature results.
