Further questions may be addressed to the appropriate PC chairs:

Tutorial Proposals
 
Tutorial proposals must clearly identify the intended audience. Tutorials whose audience is broader than the database research community are encouraged. Proposals must be no more than five pages, and must include enough material to provide both the scope and depth of the material to be covered. The intended length of the tutorial (1.5 or 3 hours) should also be indicated.
 
Proposals should be submitted electronically by March 1, 2003 (9:00 p.m. PST) to:
 
Rakesh Agrawal, ragrawal@almaden.ibm.com
 
The submission must contain the name, e-mail address, telephone number, and fax number of the speaker. Tutorial presentations will be made available to VLDB participants, and must be ready for publication by July 1, 2003 (9:00 p.m. PST).

Panel Proposals
 
Panel proposals should address controversial issues and must be debate-oriented rather than a series of short presentations. The proposal should include the topic title, a short statement about the importance and novelty of the panel and format to be followed, in particular how the audience is to be included. Panel proposals should be submitted electronically by March 1, 2003 (9:00 p.m. PST) to:
 
Stefano Ceri, ceri@elet.polimi.it

Demonstration proposals should focus on new technology, advances in applying databases, or new techniques. Demonstration proposals must be no more than four pages, and should give a short description of the demonstrated system, its significance and contribution. Proposals should be submitted electronically by March 1, 2003 (9:00 p.m. PST) to:
 
Norman Patton, norm@cs.man.ac.uk
 
Short papers describing demos will appear in the Proceedings.

We are happy to have events, workshops, and conferences that are co-located with VLDB 2003 before of after (but not during) the conference. We are happy to help synchronize different workshops in case of overlap in content and time. Such synchronization will happen for the then known workshops by the end of January. Notification of such events should be directed to:
