Report on the 7th Workshop on Distributed Data and Structures (WDAS 2006)

摘要

The seventh Workshop on Distributed Data and Structures (WDAS) took place on the campus of Santa Clara University on January 4 and 5, 2006 and drew participants actively working in research on distributed data, structures, and their applications. WDAS aims to stimulate the exchange of ideas and to be a forum for work in progress. The electronic version of the Proceedings contains all papers accepted at the conference [WDAS]. In addition, the workshop presentations helped to select a subset that will appear revised in the Proceedings in Informatics Series at Carleton Scientific. Two papers could not be presented by authors because of the difficulties of obtaining an entry visa to the United States, unfortunately a more and more common phenomenon. We now give an overview of the topics discussed at the workshop and the related presentations.
