---- Apologies for the cross posting ----- Call for Participation This is to announce the next Graph Processing DevRoom to be co-located with in the FOSDEM 2012. The meetup will take place next 5 of February 2012, from 9AM until 5PM, room AW1.125, more information will be available when we’ll have the final schedule. Since 2-3 years graph processing systems are gaining an emerging impact for processing complex semi-structured and interrelated data sets. Graph databases like Neo4j, Semantic Web and Linked Open Data approaches like the DBPedia project, and large-scale graph processing like Apache Hama encourage each one of us to think about our problems in graph like structures. Thanks to the high quality open source implementations and outstanding community support, this movement is currently wining a lot of momentum within different developer communities. Related projects and topics We encourage you to submit talks regarding the next topics: Graph Representations and Storage Distributed Graph Processing Graph Query Languages and user-friendly APIs Semantic Graphs Graph Mining Visualization Benchmarking Application of graphs and industry experience Experiences on GIS, multimedia databases, BMP,... … Contributions expected from: Neo4j OrientDB HyperGraphDB Tinkerpop Blueprints GoldenOrb Apache Hama Apache Mahout Apache Giraph … This list is not closed, related topics are welcome. Should be noticed we look for high quality, technical submissions, ranging for principles to practice. Submissions should be bases on free software solutions.
