DMC 2013 - International Workshop on Data Management in the Cloud (DMC)

The cloud computing has emerged as a promising computing and business model. By providing on-demand scaling capabilities without any large upfront investment or long-term commitment, it is attracting wide range of users. The database community has also shown great interest in exploiting this new platform for data management services in a highly scalable and cost-efficient manner. As a result, the cloud computing presents challenges and opportunities for data management. The DMC workshop aims at bringing researchers and practitioners in cloud computing and data management systems together to discuss the research issues at the intersection of those areas, and also to draw more attention from the larger data management research community to this new and highly promising field.
