Report on the sixth international workshop on cloud data management (CloudDB 2014)

The workshop series on Cloud Data Management (CloudDB) was held successfully from 2009 to 2013, co-located with the ACM Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM). CloudDB is dedicated to address the challenges in managing big data in the cloud computing environment, and identifying information of value to business, science, government, and society, and it continues serving as a premier forum for researchers and practitioners to present research progress and share ideas in the cloud data management area. The program covered a variety of topics, including quality of services, query processing, system architecture, and benchmarking. In addition, the program included two invited keynote talks from leading cloud computing researchers. Many people contributed to the success of this year?s CloudDB. A cloud-based environment has technical requirements to manage data center virtualization, lower cost and boost reliability by consolidating systems in the cloud.
