We will build an initial \PocketData{} community and facilitate engagement with the broader CISE community through outreach efforts including attending poster and demo sessions and hosting workshops and tutorials
co-located with major conferences in databases (VLDB, SIGMOD, ICDE), mobile and real-time systems (MobiSys, OSDI, RTSS, RTAS), and programming languages (POPL, PLDI, OOPSLA).
Poster sessions provide an ideal opportunity to meet researchers in related areas, to advertise the resources we plan to offer, and gather feedback about the needs of potential \PocketData{} community members.
Tutorials offer a more formal, extended opportunity to introduce members of broader communities in CISE to technologies related to \PocketData{}, and to train them in the technology's use. As a side effect, a tutorial offers an opportunity to advertise the proposed resources as tools for conducting research in these areas.
Potential tutorial subjects pertinent to \PocketData{} include embedded databases, data management on smartphones, object-relational mappers, and smartphone development.
Our final outreach effort will be a \PocketData{} workshop. This will offer a forum for researchers exploring opportunities in small-scale data management to come together and offer each other feedback. Simultaneously, a workshop creates an incentive for researchers in adjacent areas like IoT, mobile systems, and adaptive data management to carefully venture into the \PocketData{} space.
In the interest of having broad appeal, our proposed \PocketData{} workshop will target several related spaces, including small-data management~\cite{Dit2015CIDR}, gestural query interfaces~\cite{Nandi:2013:GQS:2732240.2732247}, adaptive databases~\cite{idreos2007database}, and embedded databases~\cite{4401024}, among others.
We have budgeted for each project participant to attend at least one conference over the one-year planning period, allowing for the project to connect with multiple communities.
If funded, we will continue these efforts for the span of the infrastructure grant.
