Original deadline became = abstract deadline.* Friday March 28th, 2014 Athens, Greece co-located with EDBT/ICDT 2014 Web site: http://bx-community.wikidot.com/bx2014:home Submission site: https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=3Dbx2014 Paper length: 3-8 pages, ACM format. In-progress work is highly = encouraged, if limited to 4 pages. Bidirectional transformations (bx) are a mechanism for maintaining the = consistency of at least two related sources of information. Such sources = can be relational data, software models, documents, graphs, trees, and = so on. BX are an emerging topic in a wide range of research areas with = prominent presence at top conferences in different fields. However, much = of the research in bx tends to get limited exposure outside of a single = field of study. The purpose of this workshop series is not only to further research into = bx, but to promote cross-disciplinary research and awareness in the = area. The first two instances of this workshop, BX'12 and BX'13, served = as a dedicated venue for bx in all relevant areas, including: - Databases - Programming Languages - Software Engineering - Graph Transformation This instance of the workshop is the first at a database venue. The = workshop rotates between venues in different areas to promote the = cross-disciplinary nature of the work, as methodologies used for bx = range from classical program transformation and updateable views to = graph transformation techniques, from ad-hoc techniques for data = synchronization to the development of domain-specific languages and = their integration. We also solicit papers on model/metamodel = co-evolution, which is a different yet closely related subject. Aims and Topics The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers and = practitioners, established and new, interested in bidirectional = transformations from different perspectives, such as: * inversion of data exchange mappings * new perspectives on view updatability * data-schema co-evolution and data synchronization * software-model synchronization * consistency analysis * (coupled) software/model transformations * language-based approaches Submissions can be: * novel research concepts and results * position papers and research perspectives * application of bx in new domains * analysis of gaps between formal concepts and application scenarios * examination of the efficiency of algorithms * analysis/classification of requirements for bx technologies * proposals and justification for benchmarks * summary papers providing novel comparisons between existing = technologies * case studies and tool support Submitted papers must be in ACM format in accordance with the other = workshops and proceedings at EDBT/ICDT. Papers may be 3-8 pages in = length; the length of the paper should be appropriate for the level of = completeness of the work. Important Dates: Abstract submission date: 7th December 2013 Paper submission date: 13th December 2013 Author notification: 7th January 2014 Camera-ready date: 20th January 2014 Workshop date: 28th March 2014 Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings of = EDBT/ICDT and will be available at the conference.= [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
