Three Favorite Results

Conventional wisdom says good things come in threes. As an exercise recently, I reflected on the research I’ve conducted over my career to date and selected my three favorite results, which I will cover in this talk. For each one I’ll explain the context and motivation, the result itself, and why it ranks as one of my favorites. I’ll also make an attempt to decipher what the results have in common. The three results span computer science foundations, system implementation, and user interface questions, and they represent three of my favorite research areas: semistructured data, data streams, and uncertain data.

This is a call for submission and participation for the Inaugural Paris Big Data Management Summit, to be held on March 24, 2016. The goal of this all-day summit is to bring together researchers from the greater Paris area with an interest in big data management, together with select industry experts, to discuss our collective research strengths and look for opportunities for future collaborations. This summit will show case a number of research projects of high relevance and impact, and present a plenary student poster session to broadly cover projects on big data management in the local area. Attendees will also hear from French industry about their data management needs. 

Call for Submission

———————————————————

We call for submission from all researchers and graduate students in the greater Paris area and other select areas in France. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Databases, 

- Data mining, 

- Web data management,  

- Knowledge management, and 

- Broader big data analytics.

We call for submissions from researchers and students in one of the two forms:

- Technical talk: Each technical talk is given 15 minutes for presentation, and there will be 6-9 talks at the summit. To submit for a technical talk, we require a 2 page maximum PDF talk abstract (any format, 10 pt font or larger). The organizing committee will review the talk abstracts to make the final selection.

- Poster: We anticipate every research project on big data management in the local area to be presented with a poster. It is a great opportunity for the graduate students on the project to present their ideas and latest results. For a poster submission, we require a 1 paragraph abstract. All posters on related topics will be accepted.

All presentations must be made in English due to the presence of international participants.
