The fast dynamics of the information available today has created large scale information repository with non-traditional data feeding methods. The database technology available today is not sufficient to address the access pattern of end users. The grist for many innovative kinds of disciplines is datasets that requires disciplinary integration. The revolutionary and innovative high-payoff research can lead to convert the semi-structured information deposits into well structured databases so as to create new information systems. 

The forthcoming workshop would address many database issues.

Papers are solicited on the following but not restricted.

Data feeding patterns
Semi and unstuructured datasets
Interdisciplinary datasets
Grid ready databases
Automatic storage management
Database security
Real application clusters
Data Recoverability issues
Portal Management
Web support databases
