RID 2015 - Call for Chapters: Handbook of Research on Innovative Database Query Processing Techniques

For release in the Advances in Data Mining and Database Management Book Series.
Series Editor: David Taniar (Monash University, Australia)
ISSN: 2327-1981
The Advances in Data Mining & Database Management (ADMDM) series aims to bring together research in information retrieval, data analysis, data warehousing, and related areas in order to become an ideal resource for those working and studying in these fields. IT professionals, software engineers, academicians and upper-level students will find titles within the ADMDM book series particularly useful for staying up-to-date on emerging research, theories, and applications in the fields of data mining and database management.
Databases are designed to support data storage, processing, and retrieval activities related to data management. The wide usage of databases in various applications has resulted in an enormous wealth of data, which populate a great variety of databases around the world. One can find many types of database systems, for example, relational databases, object-oriented databases, object-relational databases, deductive databases, parallel databases, distributed databases, multidatabase systems, Web databases, XML databases, multimedia databases, temporal/spatial databases, spatiotemporal databases, and uncertain databases. Recently some new databases are emerging, for example, NoSQL and NewSQL for big data management, RDF databases for metadata management, ontology bases for knowledge management in the Semantic Web, and so on. Nowadays databases have become the repositories of large volumes of data. So it is very critical to deal with the enormity and retrieve the worth information for effective problem solving and decision making. It is especially true when a variety of database types, data types and users’ requirements as well as large volumes of data are available. Database queries are the fields which must be investigated by academic researchers together with developers and users both from database and industry areas.
Objective
This book will aim to provide a single record of current advances in database queries. The objective is to provide state of the art information to academics, researchers and industry practitioners who are involved or interested in the study, use, design and development of advanced and emerging database technologies with ultimate aim to empower individuals and organizations in building competencies for exploiting the opportunities of the data and knowledge society.
Target Audience
The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and researchers working in the field of database queries and information retrieval in studies, developments and applications. Moreover, the book will provide insights and support executives concerned with the data management in different types of work communities and environments.
