OJDB, an open access and = peer-reviewed online journal, publishes original and creative research = results on database technologies. OJDB distributes its articles under = the open access model. All articles of OJDB are fully open access and = online available to readers free of charge. There is no restriction on = the length of the papers. Accepted manuscripts are published online = immediately. ** ABOUT THIS SPECIAL ISSUE: In recent years, the number of hardware implementation alternatives for = database systems has significantly increased. Field Programmable Gate = Arrays (FPGAs), General Purpose Computation on Graphics Processing Unit = (GPGPUs), Smart SSDs and servers with huge main memories became = available and offer new possibilities for speeding up processing. Yet, = traditional processing techniques in database systems have to be = rethink as the computational models and processing capabilities of = these new hardware alternatives differ significantly from existing = CPU-centric approaches. FPGAs allow for massively parallel processing at = low clock frequency, and in addition permit runtime adaption of = processing units to the current processing requirements by mean of = partial reconfiguration. GPGPUs can be seen as stream processors that = can operate massively in parallel by running one kernel on many records = in a stream at once. Smart SSDs can already process data inside the SSD = before transferred to CPUs on slower network connections. Server with = terabytes of main memory can now access and hold data in main memory, = which had to be stored and administrated on slow discs or SSDs in the = past. To make best use of these capabilities, new algorithms, new = structures for data representation as well as new techniques for data = management have to be developed. The goal of this special issue is to = present the latest results and new ideas in the broad area of emerging = hardware technologies for database systems. ** SCOPE: The special issue expects original and high-quality papers, including = but NOT limited to the following topics: - New hardware architectures for databases - Algorithms for databases on emerging hardware technologies - Programming models for emerging hardware - New storage devices and new approaches to data management utilizing them - Benchmarks for database technologies on new hardware - In-memory data management - Reconfigurable challenges for FPGA processing - Query processing for hybrid architectures - Optimized index construction on emerging hardware - Green computing - Data management and query processing in the Internet of Things ** GUEST EDITORS: - Dr. rer. nat. habil. Sven Groppe, IFIS, University of L=FCbeck, Germany = (http://www.ifis.uni-luebeck.de/~groppe/) - Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thilo Pionteck, ITI, University of L=FCbeck, Germany = (http://www.iti.uni-luebeck.de/en/staff/prof-dr-ing-thilo-pionteck.html) ** IMPORTANT DATES: - Submission Deadline: 15.01.2015 - Author Notification: 27.02.2015 ** PREPARATION & SUBMISSION: For detailed information on the preparation and submission of = manuscripts, please visit Author Guidelines = (https://www.ronpub.com/index.php/journals/ojdb/author-guidelines). ** OPEN-ACCESS PUBLISHING FEES: This special issue will be published in the Open Journal of Databases = (OJDB) (http://www.ronpub.com/journal/ojdb). All articles of OJDB are = fully open access and online available to readers free of charge.
