Advanced School on Data Exchange, Integration, and Streams

DEIS'10 - GI-Dagstuhl Seminar 10452,

November 7-12, 2010, Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany

The Gesellschaft fur Informatik (GI) and the Dagstuhl-Leibniz Center for 
Informatics jointly
sponsor research seminars on timely topics in computer science that have 
yet to be covered in
textbooks. These research seminars are targeted at graduate students and 
recent PhDs who
are interested in learning actively about new developments. The main aim 
of DEIS'10 is to
expose young researchers from both academia and industry to 
state-of-the-art developments
in information integration and to prepare them for productive research 
in data exchange,
data integration, and data streams.

Organization
DEIS'10, which is organized by Phokion G. Kolaitis, Maurizio Lenzerini, 
and Nicole
Schweikardt, will take place at Schloss Dagstuhl on November 7-12, 2010. 
It will consist of
tutorials on each of the main topics, presentations of specialized 
topics by the participants,
and evening problem sessions.

Tutorials:
There will be three two-hour long tutorials on data exchange, data 
integration, and data
streams, presented by the three organizers.

Participant presentations:
There will be a total number of approximately twenty 45-minute long 
presentations by the
participants followed by a 15-minute discussion.

Problem sessions:
There will be three 90-minute long problem sessions whose purpose is 
twofold: (1) the
participants will develop solutions to exercises that will be assigned 
by the organizers during
their tutorial presentations; (2) the organizers and the participants 
will discuss open research
problems on the topics of the Advanced School.

Participation
DEIS'10 is aimed at advanced doctoral students, postdoctoral 
researchers, and junior
industrial researchers. Specialized knowledge of the topics of the 
Advanced School is not
required. The main criterion for selection will be a solid background on 
the principles and
practice of database systems, and demonstrated research potential.
