CONFERENCE PROGRAM

March 26 (Wed.)
9:30-10:30
Keynote: A Survey of New Directions in Database Systems
Jeffrey D. Ullman (Stanford University)
Abstract: As database system research evolves, there are several
enduring themes. One, of course, is how we deal with the largest
possible amounts of data. A less obvious theme is optimization
--- it is an essential ingredient of all modern forms of database
system. Because we deal with large volumes of data, we are often
forced to process that data in regular ways. But when operations
are uniform, there is an opportunity for the use of
very-high-level languages, of which SQL is the primary example.
However, to make a very-high-level language effective, we need to
optimize it well, that is, produce effective query plans from all
sorts of queries.
In this talk, we shall review the principal directions in which
modern database research is going, and in each case talk a bit
about the optimization problems. Stream management systems are
one very important new area. Another is peer-to-peer database
systems. Integration of heterogeneous information, especially in
virtual databases, is also a major challenge. XML, XQUERY, and
semistructured data in general form yet another research
opportunity.

CALL FOR PAPERS: VLDB2003
29th International Conference on Very Large Data Bases
Humboldt-Universit"at zu Berlin, Germany
September 9-12, 2003
http://www.vldb.informatik.hu-berlin.de
After 25 years VLDB returns to Berlin in 2003 to continue the
long lasting tradition of VLDB conferences as a premier
international forum for database researchers, vendors,
practitioners, application developers, and users.
The VLDB conference reflects the increasing challenges of an ever
more complex technical world. The scope for submissions of
original results has extended from all technical aspects of data
management to the infrastructures of which databases have become
an essential part, and to applications which heavily depend
on database technology. We invite submission of technical
papers, papers with visionary contributions, proposals for
panels, tutorials, and demonstrations, all of which present
the most critical issues and views on practical leading-edge
database technology, applications, and techniques.
IMPORTANT DATES
February 11, 2003 - Abstract Submission Deadline
February 18, 2003 - Full Paper Submission Deadline
March 1, 2003 - Panel, Demonstr. & Tutorial Subm. Deadline
April 15, 2003 - Ph.D. Workshop Submission Deadline
May 5, 2003 - Notification of Acceptance
June 15, 2003 - Camera Ready Papers due
September 9, 2003 - Conference opens
TOPICS OF INTEREST
VLDB 2003 invites submissions on new contributions in the field
of data management, including novel usage of data management
technology. VLDB 2003 strongly encourages the submission
of creative work that goes beyond improvements of already
known results. Submissions may cover novel approaches in data
management, visions that present new viewpoints and
challenges, or a description of the implementation or deployment
of advanced database technology in an industrial or application
setting. Furthermore, since new challenging applications appear
on the horizon, papers that describe those with respect to their
technical substance, their impact, and their importance and
relate them to today's database technology are also
solicited.
To accommodate the spectrum of papers, VLDB 2003 Program
Committee will be organized into three tracks: (1) Core
Database System Technology, (2) Infrastructure for Information
Systems, (3) Industrial Applications & Experience.
Accordingly, like in 2002 VLDB 2003 will divide the Program
Committee by subject area rather than by geographical region
as in earlier years. Nonetheless, we remain committed to maintain
the geographical balance in all aspects of the conference.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Research Papers: For each paper, authors must first submit an
abstract by February 11, 2003 (9:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time -
PST). Full papers must be submitted by February 18, 2003 (9:00
p.m. PST). Papers must be submitted electronically using the
conference management tool. Detailed information on the paper
submission procedure is available there in January 2003. Further
questions may be addressed to the appropriate PC chairs: Serge
Abiteboul (Core Database Technology Program,
Serge.Abiteboul(a)inria.fr) Mike Carey (Infrastructure for
Information System Program, carey(a)bea.com) and Pat Selinger
(Industrial Applications & Experience Program, pgs(a)us.ibm.com)
Papers will be judged according to their category, so authors
should give careful consideration to placing their papers
appropriately. Papers must not be published or under
consideration to be published elsewhere. Nominations for
topics and speakers for keynotes are welcome.
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(a)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(a)elet.polimi.it.
Demonstration Proposals: 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 Paton, norm(a)cs.man.ac.uk. Short papers describing demos
will appear in the Proceedings.
Co-location of Workshops and Conferences: 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: Gunter Saake,
saake(a)iti.cs.uni-magdeburg.de
Ph.D. workshop: The workshop brings together Ph.D. students for
presenting their ongoing research in databases and related
fields. Papers of 5 pages maximum should be submitted by April
15, 2003 (9:00 p.m. PST) to: Marc Scholl, Marc.Scholl@uni-
konstanz.de.

CALL FOR PAPERS
The Sixth International Workshop on
Information Retrieval with Asian Languages - IRAL2003
7 July, 2003
Sapporo Convention Center, Sapporo, JAPAN
Sponsored by
National Institute of Informatics, Japan
In cooperation with:
ACM SIGIR
Japanese Association for Natural Language Processing(pending)
SIG-DBS, Information Processing Society of Japan(pending)
SIG-KLP, Korea Information Science Society (pending)
SIG-NLP, Information Processing Society of Japan(pending)
Singapore Computer Society(pending)
URL: http://research.nii.ac.jp/IRAL2003
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The purpose of the IRAL is to bring together researchers and
developers who are interested in exchanging new ideas and
presenting results in the field of information retrieval
with an emphasis on the issues related to Asian languages
and multilingual applications. The first workshop was held
in Korea, 1996, and then we had 4 more workshops in Japan,
Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Unfortunately, because of organizing difficulties in the
steering committee members of participating Asian countries,
we could not hold workshops in 2001 and 2002. In IRAL2000 in
Hong Kong, we collocated the workshop just before ACL2000.
In the Year 2003, we have ACL2003 in Sapporo, Japan
(http://www.ec-inc.co.jp/ACL2003/) and we proposed to have
IRAL workshop as one of ACL supported workshops. We regard
having our workshop within ACL2003 as a good chance to
restart periodical gathering of IR research community.
Best papers will be considered for publication in ACM
Transactions on Asian Language Information Processing
(TALIP), http://www.cintec.cuhk.edu.hk/~talip.
TOPICS
IRAL2003 welcomes submissions of original papers in the
broad field of information storage and retrieval, but topics
contributed to Asian languages are encouraged. The technical
issues to be addressed include, but are not limited to:
IR theory
Experimentation: test collection, corpus, evaluation methodology
Systems and Implementation issues: integration with
network and database system.
Natural language processing related issues: Questioning
and Answering, summarization, cross-lingual IR,
term extraction
Information filtering, routing and text classification
Application of IR technology
Web related issues: web mining, search engine,
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Authors of papers are invited to submit original
contributions, not exceeding 5000 words in English to the
Program Chair of IRAL2003 by e-mail. Details such as
electronic submission and style files will be
announced on the IRAL2003 home page.

TRAVEL ADVICE
-------------
- From Tokyo to Kyoto Station, it takes about 2 and a half hours by
Shinkansen.
- From Kansai International Airport, take JR (Japan Railway) Airport
Limited Express Train, HARUKA, which runs every 30 minutes. The
traveling time to Kyoto JR station is approximately 75 minutes and
fare is 3,490 yen (reserved seats), or 2,980 yen (non-reserved
seats). Participants from foreign countries can purchase JAPAN RAIL
PASS, which is a special discount pass for any trains of JR Group
Railways (except the NOZOMI super express). JAPAN RAIL PASS is sold
only outside of Japan: Must be purchased before arriving in
Japan. For details, check website: http://www.japanrailpass.net/
----
VISA
----
For entering Japan, you need a valid passport and in some cases a
visa. To check whether you need a visa, and how to apply it, visit the
homepage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
(http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/index.html) Obtaining a visa
may take a long period of time, a few months in some cases. So apply
immediately if you need a visa. Ask Japanese Embassies/Consulates or
local travel agencies for necessary documents. If you need a letter

CONFERENCE PROGRAM
------------------
March 26 (Wed.)
9:30-10:30
Keynote: A Survey of New Directions in Database Systems
Jeffrey D. Ullman (Stanford University)
Abstract: As database system research evolves, there are several
enduring themes. One, of course, is how we deal with the largest
possible amounts of data. A less obvious theme is optimization
--- it is an essential ingredient of all modern forms of database
system. Because we deal with large volumes of data, we are often
forced to process that data in regular ways. But when operations
are uniform, there is an opportunity for the use of
very-high-level languages, of which SQL is the primary example.
However, to make a very-high-level language effective, we need to
optimize it well, that is, produce effective query plans from all
sorts of queries.
In this talk, we shall review the principal directions in which
modern database research is going, and in each case talk a bit
about the optimization problems. Stream management systems are
one very important new area. Another is peer-to-peer database
systems. Integration of heterogeneous information, especially in
virtual databases, is also a major challenge. XML, XQUERY, and
semistructured data in general form yet another research
opportunity.
