Data
Base Programming Languages
(September 6-8, 2003, Potsdam, Germany) |
| The
9th Biennial Workshop on Data Bases and Programming Languages
(DBPL'03) is held on September 6 - 8, 2003, in Potsdam, Germany.
The workshop presents recent work on modern data management
topics and their interraction with programming languages:
Web services, XML processing, stream data processing, and
peer to peer data management. The invited talk is by Jennifer
Widom (Stanford University), and is entitled "CQL: A Language
for Continuous Queries over Streams and Relations". The invited
tutorial is by Georg Gottlob (Technische Universitaet Wien)
and Christoph Koch (Technische Universitaet Wien and Univerisity
of Edinburgh), on "XPath Query Processing". Informal proceedings
will be distributed at the workshop, to registered participants.
On-line proceedings will be made available on the web from
http://CEUR-WS.org/. |

Design
And Management Of Data Warehouses
(September 8, 2003, Berlin, Germany) |
| Data
Warehousing embraces technology and industrial practice to
systematically integrate data from multiple distributed data
sources and to use that data in annotated and aggregated form
to support business decision-making and enterprise management.
Although many database techniques have been revisited or newly
developed in the context of data warehouses, such as view
maintenance and OLAP, little attention has been paid to the
design, management and high quality service of the management
of a given enterprise. Little attention is also paid to aspects
which are intrinsic to the functionality and usage of data
warehouses, either in the back-stage (like data cleansing
or data extraction and loading) or in the front-end (like
similar and uncertain queries, or what-if analysis). This
workshop is intended as a forum to fill this gap. DMDW started
as a workshop (in conjunction with the CAiSE conference) in
Heidelberg, 1999. Since then, the workshop has taken place
on an annual basis with a big success, with special journal
issues publishing best papers from past editions of DMDW.
As in earlier DMDW workshops, we invite research papers covering
all aspects of high quality data warehousing. Equally welcome
are papers from the industry reporting on data warehouse toolkits
and experiences from data warehouse implementation projects.
The workshop will continue to promote a culture of vivid discussions.

Semantic
Web and Databases
(September 7-8, 2003, Berlin, Germany) |
The
objective of this workshop is to present database and information
system research as they relate to the Semantic Web and more
broadly, to gain insight into the Semantic Web technology
as it relates to databases and information systems. The broad
themes of the workshop are:
Infrastructure: These include component models
(e.g., J2EE, .NET) for software development, information modeling
(e.g., schemas, ontologies) and processes (e.g., web services,
workflows) and issues related to their management, e.g., creation,
maintenance, quality of service, etc.
Semantics: These includes approaches for
inference, derivation and representation of data semantics,
e.g., statistical clustering approaches; social networks analysis;
logic based knowledge representation, emergent semantics,
and semantic interoperability.
Applications: These include applications
that capture and exploit the (domain) semantics of data. |

International
Workshop on Databases, Information Systems, and P2P Computing
(September 8, 2003, Berlin, Germany)
|
The
workshop DBISP2P 2003 concentrates on the impact that current
database research can have to P2P computing and vice versa.
P2P computing introduces the paradigm of decentralization
going hand in hand with an increasing self-organization of
highly autonomous peers, thus departing from the classical
client-server computing paradigm. This new paradigm bears
the potential to realize computing systems that scale to very
large numbers of participating nodes. Taking advantage of
this potential for the area of data management is a challenge
that the database community itself is asked to face. The realization
of the P2P computing vision is however a Herculean task freight
with immense technical difficulties. As a result, it offers
database theoreticians and system developers a new set of
exciting open problems. |

Workshop
on Technologies for E-Services
(September 7-8, 2003, Berlin, Germany) |
| E-Services
(also called Web Services) are emerging as promising technology
for the effective automation application integration across
networks and organisations. The basic technological infrastructure
for E-Services is structured around three major standards:
SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI. These standards provide building blocks
for service description, discovery, and interaction. E-Services
technologies have clearly influenced positively the development
of integrated systems by providing programmatic access to
e-services through SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI. E-Services are evolving
toward being able to solve critical integration issues including
security, transactions, collaborative processes management,
semantic aspects, and seamless integration with existing middleware
infrastructures. VLDB-TES'2003 is the fourth workshop in a
successful series of annual workshops on technologies for
E-Services, which have been held in conjunction with the VLDB
Conference. The objective of VLDB-TES'03 is to bring together
researchers, practitioners, and users to exchange new ideas,
developments and experiences on issues related to E-Services.

Multimedia
and Data Document Engineering
(September 8, 2003, Berlin, Germany) |
The 3rd international Workshop on Multimedia Data and Document
Engineering is aimed to bring together experts from all aspects
of multimedia data and document engineering, including experts
in data mining, documents engineering, digital media content
analysis, multimedia databases and domain experts from diverse
applied disciplines with potential in multimedia data and
document engineering. |

XML
Database symposium
(September 8, 2003, Berlin, Germany) |
|
The
first XML Database Symposium XSym-03 is a new forum on the
combination of Database and XML Technologies. It is built
on several previous XML, Web and Database-related workshops
that were held at the CAiSE 2002, EDBT 2002, NODe 2002 and
VLDB 2002 conferences. The goal of this symposium is to
provide a high-quality platform for presentation and discussion
of new research results and system developments. It is targeted
at scientists, practitioners, vendors as well as users of
XML and database technologies.
The
call-for-papers attracted 65 submissions. After a careful
reviewing process, the international program committee accepted
only 18 papers of particular relevance and quality. The
selected contributions cover a wide range of interesting
topics, in particular XML query processing, stream processing,
XML-relational mappings, index structures, change management,
and new prototypes. Another highlight of the symposium will
be the keynote by Mike Franklin, Univ. of Berkeley. The
proceedings of the symposium will be published by Springer-Verlag
as volume 2824 of the LNCS series.

VLDB
2003 PhD Workshop
(September 12-13, 2003, Berlin, Germany) |
The
VLDB 2003 PhD Workshop is intended to bring together PhD
students working on topics related to the VLDB Conference
series. It is supposed to be an opportunity for young researchers
at the start of their careers to share their work with others
in a similar position from all around the world, to present
and to discuss their research in a constructive and international
atmosphere. Building links and person-to-person networks
shall be beneficial to our science and be long lasting and
rewarding for yourselves. Furthermore, we invited a few
more experienced researchers, people who have had experience
in supervising and examining PhD students, so as to provide
feedback and advice to the participants.
The
workshop addresses PhD students at any stage of their PhD
work: people just starting their PhDs, those in the middle
and some close to completion.

Emerging
Database Research in Eastern Europe
(September 8, Berlin, Germany) |
This
workshop is planned as a "come-together" event
for those participants of VLDB 2003 funded by the VLDB 2003
East Europe initiative and other interested VLDB participants.
The short talks will reflect the research activities in
the area of database systems in east European countries.
The
final program will be fixed by end of the month. It is planned
to publish the papers as post-workshop proceedings. The
workshop is an excellent opportunity to get insight into
DB research in eastern countries and to set up a network
of relationships between researchers from east and west.
For registration contact Thomas Kobienia (tk@Informatik.TU-Cottbus.DE).
No fees will be charged. The workshop will be held at the
Institute of Computer Science at Freie Universität
Berlin.
