Second International Workshop on Data Management in the Cloud

The Second International Workshop on Data Management in the Cloud took place on April 8, 2013 in Brisbane, Australia, on the day before ICDE. The DMC workshop aims to bring researchers and practitioners in cloud computing and data management systems together to discuss the research issues at the intersection of these two areas, and also to draw more attention from the larger data management and systems research communities to this new and highly promising field. The DMC Workshops are sponsored by the IEEE TCDE Workgroup on Cloud Computing. The DMC 2013 program began with a keynote presentation by Amr El Abbadi, Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. This was followed by six technical papers presented in two sessions. The workshop concluded with a panel discussion on research challenges in data management for the cloud.
