Current conferences and/or journals do not encourage submission of mostly (or purely) experimental results. It is often difficult or impossible to reproduce the experimental results being published, either because the source code of research prototypes is not made available or because the experimental framework is under documented. Most performance studies have limited depth because of space limitation. Their validity is limited in time because assumptions made in the experimental framework become obsolete. ExpDB 2007 is meant as a forum for presenting quantitative evaluation of various data management techniques and systems.

This year, DaMoN and ExpDB audiences will be united into a joint fun-filled day with several excellent technical talks and two very interesting keynotes, and register for either workshop (not both!).

Please note the new date:   Friday June 15   (instead of Sunday June 10).
