The stated scope of SoCC is to be broad and encompass diverse data management and systems topics, and this year's 34 accepted papers are no exception. They touch on a wide range of data systems topics including new architectures, scheduling, performance modeling, high availability, replication, elasticity, migration, costs and performance trade-offs, complex analysis, and testing. The conference also includes 2 poster sessions (with 30 posters in addition to invited poster presentations for the accepted papers), keynotes by Eric Brewer of Google/UC Berkeley and Samuel Madden of MIT, and a social program that includes a banquet and a luncheon for students and senior systems and database researchers. The symposium is co-located with the 41st International Conference on Very Large Databases, VLDB 2015, highlighting the synergy between big data and the cloud. |
