DASFAA focuses on research in database theory, development of advanced DBMS technologies, and their advanced applications. --------------- INVITED SPEAKER --------------- Professor Jeffrey D. Ullman (Stanford University) -------------------------- TOPICS OF GENERAL INTEREST -------------------------- Original papers concerned with both theory and practice are solicited. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following: Data Modeling and Database Design Workflow Management Query Language and Query Optimization E-commerce Multidatabases and Federated Databases Multimedia Databases Security and Integrity Maintenance Internet and the WWW Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Digital Libraries Text and Document Databases Mobile Databases Semi-Structured Data User Interfaces Statistical and Scientific Databases Temporal and Spatial Databases Engineering Databases Active Databases Parallel and Distributed Databases Application Servers Data Warehousing New Applications Information Retrieval with Database Systems ------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST FOR SPECIAL TRACKS ------------------------------------- To honor the original spirit of the DASFAA conference which puts emphasis on advanced applications, we created special tracks focusing on recent important research topics. DASFAA2003 has the following three SPECIAL TRACKS: "Bioinformatics and Database" Track Chair: Hideo Matsuda Osaka University, Japan matsuda@ist.osaka-u.ac.jp In the post-genome era, after the completion of the draft sequence of the human genome, we are faced with an explosion of new information. A tremendous amount of biological data is now available in databases, including information on genetic sequences, protein structure and function, genetic mutations, and diseases. These databases have grown spectacularly in number, in variety, and in size. A recent database directory listed 500 databases just in molecular biology. But the large amount of information is useful only if it can be applied to create knowledge. For this reason, the track focuses on bioinformatics and database, including, but not limited to, databases for genome, transcriptome, proteome, pathway and other biological information, and bioinformatic analysis from the databases, such as knowledge extraction, knowledge discovery and data mining. "Data Stream Processing" Track Chair: Venkatesh Ganti Microsoft Research, U.S.A. vganti@microsoft.com Continuous data streams arise in several scenarios: network installations of large telecom and internet service providers, sensor networks, and large data warehouses. Detailed information from different parts of the network is continuously collected, stored and analyzed. Processing and analyzing such data streams poses several research challenges. The special track on stream data invites submissions of original research and industrial experience on topics related to data stream processing including (but not certainly limited to): (i) Stream processing models and system architectures (ii) Techniques for accurately summarizing streaming data (iii) Mining data streams (iv) Content-based processing of streaming data objects (e.g., text and XML documents) (v) Visionary papers outlining future research directions "XML Database" Track Chair: Bongki Moon University of Arizona, U.S.A. bkmoon@cs.arizona.edu With the growing popularity of XML as a new standard for information representation and exchange for many enterprise applications, the problem of managing and querying XML data is posing an important challenge to the database research community. The XML Database special track solicits submissions of original research and industrial papers in the following areas of interest. * XML data management and publication * Updating and versioning XML data * Indexing XML data * XML selectivity estimation * Path and twig query processing * XML query language and algebra * XML namespace and schema * Native XML database server * XML benchmark * New applications in XML * RDF and semantic web The review process for the papers submitted to SPECIAL TRACKS will be managed by each track chair. --------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Electronic submission of abstract: September 20, 2002 Paper submission: September 27, 2002 Panel & Tutorial proposals: September 27, 2002 Notification of acceptance: December 2, 2002 Camera-ready copies: January 2, 2003 ----------------- PAPER SUBMISSIONS ----------------- Authors are invited to submit the title, author(s), email address of the contact author, and abstract of the paper to the following URL http://db-www.aist-nara.ac.jp/dasfaa2003/ConfMan/REG-paper/ by September 20, 2002. Papers submitted to SPECIAL TRACKS should indicate the track name. The full paper in PDF format must be submitted by September 27, 2002 to the same URL. Each paper must not exceed 25 double-spaced pages. The title page must include the name and email address of the contact author. Detailed submission instructions will be made available at the same URL. The proceedings of the conference is planned to be published from IEEE Computer Society Press. ---------------------------- PANEL SESSIONS AND TUTORIALS ---------------------------- Each panel or tutorial proposal should include a one-page description of the subject matter, the name of the organizer, and for panels, a list of proposed panelists. Submissions should be sent to the Tutorial/Panel Chair, Hiroshi Ishikawa (ishikawa@eei.metro-u.ac.jp). ---------------------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE CO-CHAIRS ---------------------------- Sang Kyun Cha School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Seoul National University Kwanak P.O.
