Abstract

Various aspects of data integration in a bandwidth-rich world are discussed. Exponential advances in sensors, storage systems, and computers are producing data of unprecedented quantity and quality. With the decrease in prices, inexpensive storage and wide-area bandwidth drive demand for middleware to integrate, correlate, compare and mine local, remote and distributed data. In the coming decade, data integration will emerge from distributed computing and data mining, fueled by the increasing number of distributed data sets and enabled by improving network performance.
