Distributed Data Management addresses a lot of problems related to large data sets manipulation, massive data replication, distributed metadata management, efficient data transfer over wide-area networks using Internet infrastructure as the basis for building transparent, robust and efficient data services. High performance distributed data management is continuosly gaining much interest in several contexts (finance, climate change, high henergy physics, astronomy, etc.) and plays a key role in the current and future eInfrastructures and middleware solutions. Several challenges concerning distributed data management and related to heterogeneity, security, dependability, high autonomy, P2P and large-scale distribution of data resources still need to be faced.

The main purpose of this workshop is to bring researchers and practitioners to identify and explore open issues as well as discuss and propose high performance data management solutions for distributed environments. Authors are invited to submit regular papers.
