The focus of this workshop is to strengthen the communication between the database community and broader computer systems communities, specifically the computer architecture, compiler, operating systems, and storage communities. As all of these fields evolve independently, database software has proven to under-utilize the underlying hardware technology.

In the last two decades, DaMoN has established itself as the primary venue for researchers to exchange information, learn from each other, and improve the interaction between the database software and the underlying hardware and devices, as well as discovering and understanding hardware trends and building strong data management systems for the future.

This workshop aims at researchers from both data management, computer architecture, and storage systems who are interested in optimizing database performance on modern computing infrastructure by designing new data management techniques and tools.

Topics of Interest
The continued evolution of computing hardware and infrastructure imposes new challenges and bottlenecks to program performance. As a result, traditional database architectures that focus solely on I/O optimization increasingly fail to utilize hardware resources efficiently. Multi-core CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, new memory and storage technologies (such as flash and non-volatile memory), and low-power hardware imposes a great challenge to optimizing database performance. Consequently, exploiting the characteristics of modern hardware has become an important topic of database systems research.

The goal is to make database systems adapt automatically to the sophisticated hardware characteristics, thus maximizing performance transparently to applications. To achieve this goal, the data management community needs interdisciplinary collaboration with computer architecture, compiler, operating systems and storage researchers. This involves rethinking traditional data structures, query processing algorithms, and database software architectures to adapt to the advances in the underlying hardware infrastructure.

We seek submissions bridging the area of database systems to computer architecture, compilers, and operating systems. In particular, submissions covering topics from the following non-exclusive list are encouraged:

database algorithms and data structures on modern hardware

cost models and query optimization for novel hierarchical memory systems

hardware systems for query processing

data management using co-processors

novel application of new storage technologies to data management

query processing using computing power in storage systems

database architectures for low-power computing and embedded devices

database architectures on multi-threaded and chip multiprocessors

performance analysis of database workloads on modern hardware

compiler and operating systems advances to improve database performance

new benchmarks for micro-architectural evaluation of database workloads

taking advantage of modern network capabilities for data processing

hardware/software co-design for modern data-intensive workloads (e.g., machine learning, graph analytics)

Submission Tracks
We invite submissions to two tracks:

1) Full Papers: A full paper must be no longer than 6 pages excluding the bibliography. There is no limit on the length of the bibliography. Full papers describe a complete work in the area of data management for new hardware. Accepted papers will be given 10 pages (plus bibliography) for the camera-ready version and a long presentation slot during the workshop.

2) Short Papers: Short papers must not exceed 2 pages excluding the bibliography. Short papers describe very early stage works or summaries of mature systems. Short papers will be included in the proceedings, given 4 pages (plus bibliography) for the camera-ready version, and may be given a short presentation slot during the workshop.

All accepted papers (full and short) will also be presented as posters during a workshop poster session.
