********** 1st Symposium on Logic in Databases (LID 2008) ************ ********** Rome, Italy, 15-16 May 2008 ************ ********************************************************************** Ever since Codd's Relational Model, logic has played a major role in the field of databases. The significance and impact of this role have grown stronger over the years as data management research marched through many a data model, with logic keeping up and providing the foundations every step of the way. Some of the latest additions to this long list of models are XML, Semantic Web, Probabilistic Relational models, integrated model of DB+IR, data integration models, and models of unclean data to name a few. For some of these, corresponding logics already exist or are being explored. The significance of logic's role for data management will continue regardless of the data model. Logic is a fundamental tool for understanding and analyzing several aspects of data management. The Logic in Databases (LID'08) symposium is a forum for bringing together researchers from around the world who are focusing on any logical aspect of data management. This symposium is a confluence of three successful past events: (i) LID'96, an international workshop on Logic in Databases, which this symposium derives its name from; (ii) IIDB'06, an international workshop on Inconsistency and Incompleteness in Databases; and (iii) LAAIC'06, a workshop on Logical Aspects and Applications of Integrity Constraints. The symposium will be focused on applications of logic to every aspect of database management and related topics. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following, as they pertain to logic in databases: * consistent query answering * data exchange * data mining * data warehousing and OLAP for novel forms of data * database repairing * DB + IR * incomplete information * inconsistency tolerance * inductive databases * knowledge discovery * logical approaches to inconsistency * logic programming * nonmonotonic reasoning * ordered data/query models (top-K) * privacy/security * semantic web * social networks * uncertain data (fuzzy, probabilistic, etc.) and imprecision LID 2008 is aimed at gathering researchers and practitioners from the academia and the industry. The Symposium will take place in the beautiful historical city of Rome, Italy, on 15-16 May 2008. SELECTED TOP PAPERS FROM THE SYMPOSIUM WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL OF APPLIED LOGIC. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission February 9, 2008 Notification to authors March 24, 2008 Camera-ready copy due April 8, 2008 Symposium May 15-16, 2008 GENERAL CHAIR Georg Gottlob Oxford University, UK STEERING COMMITTEE Jan Chomicki University at Buffalo, USA Henning Christiansen Roskilde University, Denmark Dino Pedreschi Universita' di Pisa, Italy Jef Wijsen Universite de Mons-Hainaut, Belgium Carlo Zaniolo UCLA, USA PROGRAM COMMITTEE CO-CHAIRS Andrea Cali' Oxford University, UK Laks V.S.
