Call For Papers: DaMoN 2025

This one-day workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in optimizing database performance on modern computing infrastructure by designing new data management techniques and tools.

Topics of Interest

We seek submissions bridging database systems to computer architecture, compilers, and operating systems. We also invite submissions on hardware/software co-design for modern data-intensive workloads, including but not limited to machine learning training and inference, graph analytics, and similar tasks.

Topics include:

• database algorithms and data structures on modern hardware
• cost models and query optimization for novel hierarchical memory systems
• hardware systems for query processing
• data management using co-processors
• novel application of new storage technologies to data management
• query processing using computing power in storage systems
• database architectures for low-power computing and embedded devices
• database architectures on multi-threaded and chip multiprocessors
• performance analysis of database workloads on modern hardware
• compiler and operating systems advances to improve database performance
• new benchmarks for micro-architectural evaluation of database workloads
• taking advantage of modern network capabilities for data processing
• hardware/software co-design for modern data-intensive workloads (e.g., machine learning, graph analytics)

Submission Tracks

We invite submissions to two tracks:

• Full Papers:

  • Maximum of six pages, excluding bibliography.
  • No limit on the length of the bibliography.
  • Describe a complete work in data management for new hardware.
  • Accepted papers will have 10 pages (plus bibliography) for the camera-ready version.
  • Will receive a long presentation slot during the workshop.

• Short Papers:

  • Maximum of two pages, excluding bibliography.
  • Describe very early-stage works or summaries of mature systems.
  • Will be included in the proceedings, given 4 pages (plus bibliography) for the camera-ready version.
  • May receive a short presentation slot during the workshop.

All accepted papers (full and short) will also be presented as posters during a workshop poster session.
