Proceedings of the
VLDB 2016 PhD Workshop
September 9, 2016 — New Delhi, India
Preface
This volume contains the proceedings of the VLDB 2016 PhD Workshop,
co-located with the 42nd International Conference on Very Large Database
(VLDB 2016) and held on September 9, 2016, in New Delhi, India.
The established VLDB PhD Workshop series is a unique opportunity for grad-
uate students to present and discuss their research in the context of a premier
international conference. The workshop provides a forum that facilitates inter-
actions among PhD students and stimulates feedback from more experienced
researchers—not only in terms of diligent paper reviews but also at the confer-
ence site.
Following the call for papers, 24 authors submitted their papers for presentation
at the workshop. Of these, the program committee carefully selected a total of
8 papers which you will find bundled in this volume:
• Sergey Dudoladov
Efficient Fault Tolerance for Massively Parallel Dataflow Systems
• Shadi A. Noghabi
Building a Scalable Distributed Online Media Processing Environment
• Tomas Karnagel
Heterogeneity-Aware Query Optimization
• Hong Van Le
Distributed Moving Objects Database Based on Key-Value Stores
• Shubhadip Mitra
Identifying Top-K Optimal Locations for Placement of Large-Scale Trajec-
tory-Aware Services
• Yang Cao
Rigorous and Flexible Privacy Models for Utilizing Personal Spatiotempo-
ral Data
• Tobias Müller
Have Your Cake and Eat it, Too: Data Provenance for Turing-Complete
SQL Queries
• Sreyasi Nag Chowdhury
Commonsense for Making Sense of Data
The workshop program also featured a keynote talk by Tim Kraska (Computer
Science Department, Brown University). Tim reflected on bringing Method to
the Madness of structuring your research and academic career in the light of
unforeseen failures (and successes).
Our sincere thanks go to all authors for their interest in the workshop and to
the members of the program committee for their insightful and careful reviews,
all of which were prepared on a tight schedule but still received in time. All of
you have helped to make the VLDB 2016 PhD Workshop a successful event.
