-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 FOSDEM GraphDevroom 2015 Call for Participation (CfP) ++ Please do feel free to forward this CfP to anyone who you do think might be able to contribute to the GraphDevroom ++ Devroom day: 31. January 2015 Location: Université Libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium CfP deadline: Sunday, 7. December 2014 We are happy to announce the 4th edition of the Graph Devroom co-located with FOSDEM 2015 at the UniversitÈ Libre de Bruxelles (Campus Solbosch) in Belgium. FOSDEM is an annually software developers meeting attended by over 5000 free and open source enthusiasts from all over the world. The devroom will take place on Saturday, 31. January 2015 with a welcome at 9:45, and talks from 10AM till 18PM. For the last 6 years graph processing systems are gaining an emerging impact for processing complex semi-structured interrelated and distributed data sets. Thanks to many high quality open source implementations and outstanding community support, this movement is still winning a lot of momentum. The past year had again been full of impressive developments: e.g. Neo4j 2.1 with improved Cypher query processing, OrientDB 2.0, first pre-releases of the LDBC benchmark suites, Stardog 2.2, Sparksee 5.1, Structr 1.0, GraphHopper for OSM routing, a new graph traversal framework called Steffi.io (imGraph), the Bitsy database and Pixy query language, and even SAP, Intel and Oracle joined the movement. In previous devrooms a lot of great presentations and demos had been given and substantiated discussions took place. Therefore, also in 2015 we will again give researchers, geeks and open source hackers the possibility of an awesome meet up for showing each other their recent work and improvements. This includes: - Graph databases, RDF stores and specialized databases - Graph Query Languages (like e.g. Gremlin, Cypher or SPARQL) and user-friendly APIs - (Distributed) Graph Processing Frameworks - Semantic Graphs (RDF) - Graph and RDF Benchmarks - Geographic Information Systems and Graphs (Routing et al.) - (Large-Scale) Graph Visualization - Graphs and the Internet-of-Things - Real-life application of graph processing including industry experience This list is not closed, other related topics are always welcome. - -= Submit your idea =- Convinced?
