General Description

• We claim that the term pattern is a good
  candidate for generic representation of novel
  information types. PANDA Working Group will study
  current state-of-the-art in pattern management
  and explore novel theorical and practical aspects
  of a pattern-based management system (so-called,
  PBMS)...

PBMS a-la DBMS

• Currently, we target 3 position papers
• State of the Art
• Data Model ? DBLAB!
• Query Processing
• Pending
• Storage Structures
• Visualization

Technicalities

• Identification of the difference between a data-
  and a pattern- based management system (DBMS vs.
  PBMS) through a detailed study of related
  research.
• Support of partners basic research at PBMS
  theory and implementation, through meetings and
  visits to conferences.
• Dissemination of basic research results through
  publications (maintenance of a TR series),
  organization of two workshops and a WWW site.
• Support of partners efforts on applying PBMS
  theory in real needs on novel data collections
  (moving objects, time series, image and
  multimedia databases), through the establishment
  of an Industrial Advisory Group (IAG).
