Keynote/Invited Talks

Dr. Ebbe S. Nielsen, Director, Australian National Insect Collection, and one of the world's leading biodiversity scientists and an expert in the developing field of biodiversity informatics, will give a keynote talk titled "Biodiversity Informatics: The Challenge of Rapid Development, Large Databases and Complex Data."

 VLDB2000 10-Year Paper Award

VLDB2000 and the VLDB Endowment are delighted to honor Dr. Stefano Ceri, Dipartimento di Elettronica, Politecnico di Milano; and Dr. Jennifer Widom, Computer Science Department, Stanford University, as recipients of the VLDB2000 10-Year Paper Award for their VLDB1990 paper:

Ceri, S. and J. Widom, "Deriving Production Rules for Constraint Maintenance." In Dennis McLeod, Ron Sacks-Davis, Hans-Jörg Schek (Eds.): 16th International Conference on Very Large Data Bases, August 13-16, 1990, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, Proceedings, Morgan Kaufmann, ISBN 0-55860-149-X.

This prestigious annual award is intended for "the most influential paper in the VLDB proceedings 10 years ago." The honor is well deserved by Stefano and Jennifer given their individual and joint contributions to the area of active databases and to other areas of database research over many years. An award committee consisting of Profs. Frederick Lochovsky, Hans-Jorge Schek, and H.V. Jagadish, and chaired by Dr. Michael Carey, Propel (USA), selected the award-winning paper following an exhaustive analysis of 10 years of related research literature. The committee found that the paper has had a significant impact on database research and that it has been formative in initiating research on the application of production rules to various aspects of database systems. Other evidence for the paper's influence includes its heavy citation (over 60 on www.vldb.org alone) in follow-on research. Most industrial database systems today include support for both active rules (triggers) and constraints.

Stefano and Jennifer will be honored in a plenary session at the VLDB2000 Conference in Cairo, Egypt, this coming September at which they will present the following paper:

"Practical Applications of Triggers and Constraints: Success Stories and Lingering Issues," Stefano Ceri, Roberta J. Cochrane, and Jennifer Widom.

There will be a plenary VLDB Endowment-sponsored panel on "Broadening the Database Field and Future Directions for Database Research." This panel is not one of the regular refereed panels in the technical program. It will be a forum for explaining and discussing the Broadening Strategy used in VLDB2000, the Future Directions activity of  the VLDB Endowment, and the future manifestation of these strategies. It will be moderated by John Mylopoulos, University of Toronto, Canada, and VLDB Endowment President and panelists are Michael L. Brodie, GTE; Hans-Jorge Schek, ETH-Zurich; Stefano Ceri, Politecnico Di Millano; and Umeshwar Dayal, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories.
