Advanced School on Data Exchange, Integration, and Streams

DEIS'10 - GI-Dagstuhl Seminar 10452,

November 7-12, 2010, Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany

The Gesellschaft fur Informatik (GI) and the Dagstuhl-Leibniz Center for Informatics jointly
sponsor research seminars on timely topics in computer science that have yet to be covered in
textbooks. These research seminars are targeted at graduate students and recent PhDs who
are interested in learning actively about new developments. The main aim of DEIS'10 is to
expose young researchers from both academia and industry to state-of-the-art developments
in information integration and to prepare them for productive research in data exchange,
data integration, and data streams.

Organization
DEIS'10, which is organized by Phokion G. Kolaitis, Maurizio Lenzerini, and Nicole
Schweikardt, will take place at Schloss Dagstuhl on November 7-12, 2010. It will consist of
tutorials on each of the main topics, presentations of specialized topics by the participants,
and evening problem sessions.

Tutorials:
There will be three two-hour long tutorials on data exchange, data integration, and data
streams, presented by the three organizers.

Participant presentations:
There will be a total number of approximately twenty 45-minute long presentations by the
participants followed by a 15-minute discussion.

Problem sessions:
There will be three 90-minute long problem sessions whose purpose is twofold: (1) the
participants will develop solutions to exercises that will be assigned by the organizers during
their tutorial presentations; (2) the organizers and the participants will discuss open research
problems on the topics of the Advanced School.

Participation
DEIS'10 is aimed at advanced doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and junior
industrial researchers. Specialized knowledge of the topics of the Advanced School is not
required. The main criterion for selection will be a solid background on the principles and
practice of database systems, and demonstrated research potential. Interested parties are
asked to submit an application at the DEIS'10 application website at
