aid 2010 - 3RD INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON AMBIENT DATA INTEGRATION (ADI'10)

3RD INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON AMBIENT DATA INTEGRATION (ADI'10)

Proceedings will be published by Springer LNCS

Workshop theme

Data integration is one of the most critical tasks in computer-based data management. It is important both when harmonizing independent, uncoordinated threads of system development and when integrating formerly separated data sources. Ambient data integration places an emphasis on integrating data across embedded, context aware, personalized devices that can adapt to rapidly changing environments.

Ambient data integration places particular constraints on traditional data integration challenges, such as the creation and maintenance of mappings between source and target data schemata. For example, the spatiotemporal aspects of ADI as well as the dynamic nature of the data can impact the ontologies and knowledge bases used to perform semantically driven data integration. In addition, the conceptual modeling of data becomes increasingly important when attempting to integrate data from an ecology of devices that frequently utilize different metadata standards. As devices grow smaller, and are more connected and integrated into our environment, data integration solutions must adapt to limitations in CPU capabilities, memory capacities, and network bandwidth. And finally, new challenges in graphical user interface development, computer security and privacy arise when integrating data in an ambient computing context.

This OTM workshop will focus on the aspects of data integration that are particularly challenging in an ambient computing environment. We will bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of data integration and ambient intelligence to exchange ideas of how to benefit from each other's techniques and experiences. We want to include conceptual, technical and application-oriented solutions in the workshop program.
