Recently, there has been a lot of interest in the application of graphs in
different domains. They have been widely used for data modeling of different
application domains such as chemical compounds, multimedia databases, protein
networks, social networks and semantic web. With the continued emergence and
increase of massive and complex structural graph data, a graph database that
efficiently supports elementary data management mechanisms is crucially required
to effectively understand and utilize any collection of graphs. The overall goal
of the workshop is to bring people from different fields together, exchange
research ideas and results, and encourage discussion about how to provide
efficient graph data management techniques in different application domains and
to understand the research challenges of such area.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


* Methods/Techniques for storing, indexing and querying graph data.
* Methods/Techniques for estimating the selectivity of graph queries.
* Methods/Techniques for graph mining.
* Methods/Techniques for compact (compressed) representation of graph data.
* Methods/Techniques for measuring graph similarity.
* Methods/Techniques for large scale and distributed graph processing.
* Tools/Techniques for graph data management for social network applications.
* Tools/Techniques for graph data management of chemical compounds.
* Tools/Techniques for graph data management of protein networks.
* Tools/Techniques for graph data management of multimedia databases.
* Tools/Techniques for graph data management of semantic web data (RDF).
* Tools/Techniques for graph data management for spatio-temporal applications.
* Tools/Techniques for graph data management for Business Process Management applications.
* Tools/Techniques for visualizing, browsing, or navigating graph data
* Analysis/Proposals for graph query languages.
* Advanced applications and tools for managing graph databases in different domains.
* Benchmarking and testing of graph data management techniques.
