日本データベース学会の皆様 8月末にイスタンブールで開催される VLDB 2012 (http://www.vldb2012.org/) のPhDワークショップの論文募集です．4月10日が締切となっています． コメントを得られる良い機会ですので，PhD学生の方の投稿をお待ちしています． 石川佳治＠名古屋大学 ===== CFP: VLDB 2012 PhD Workshop The VLDB PhD workshop is a forum for PhD students working in the broad areas addressed by the VLDB conference itself. This forum aims to facilitate interactions among PhD students and to stimulate feedback from more experienced researchers. We welcome submissions from PhD students at any stage of their PhD work. PhD workshop papers are meant to present on-going thesis work -- in 6 pages. Those starting their PhDs should describe the problem they focus on, explain why it is important, detail why the existing solutions are not sufficient, and give an outline of the new solutions that are pursued. Those in the middle or close to completion should be more concrete in describing their contribution, still in the context of their doctoral work. Note that specific portions of the thesis work might have been published or submitted to publication. Again this year, the accepted papers will be published in the VLDB proceedings. This workshop should be an opportunity for the upcoming generation of database researchers to share their work and get to know each other, and an opportunity for the rest of the database community to meet future colleagues and find out about the new ideas emerging in a variety of universities. Submissions Submissions must be single-author, and the name of the supervisor must be clearly marked ("supervised by ...") on the paper, under the author's name. Authors should submit their papers in PDF format through the conference management system (https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/vldb2012). The paper should be of max. 6 pages (including references) and should be formatted with the same rules as VLDB papers. Please make sure to meet these guidelines Important Dates Submission deadline: Apr 10, 2012 (11:59pm PDT) Notification: May 30, 2012 Camera-ready due: June 19, 2012 Program Committee Co-Chairs Ioana Manolescu, INRIA, France Jeffery Xu Yu, Chinese University of Hong Kong Murat Kantarcioglu, University of Texas at Dallas, USA Program Committee Daniele Braga, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Selcuk Candan, Arizona State University, USA Mustafa Canim, IBM Research, USA Bogdan Cautis, Telecom ParisTech, France Lijun Chang, Chinese University of Hong Kong, China Peter Christen, Australian National University, Australia Jun Gao, Peking University, China Bingsheng He, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Melanie Herschel, Universite de Paris Sud, France Yoshiharu Ishikawa, Nagoya University, Japan Zoi Kaoudi, INRIA Saclay, France Latifur Khan, University of Texas at Dallas, USA Yannis Katsis, University of California at San Diego, USA Adam Lee, University of Pittsburgh, USA Eric Lo, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China Sharad Mehrotra, University of California at Irvine, USA Mohamed Mokbel, University of Minnesota, USA Benjamin Nguyen, Universite de Versailles Saint-Quentin, France Shaoxu Song, Tsinghua University, China Jaideep Vaidya, Rutgers University, USA Li Xiong, Emory University, USA Wenjie Zhang, University of New South Wales, Australia
