=============================================================
IDAR 2010 Call for Papers
SIGMOD PhD Workshop on Innovative Database Research
http://www.dcc.ufmg.br/idar2010
=============================================================

The Ph.D.Workshop on Innovative Database Research (to be held in cooperation with SIGMOD) is intended to bring together Ph.D. students working on topics related to the SIGMOD conference series. The workshop will offer Ph.D. students the opportunity to present, discuss, and receive feedback on their research in a constructive and international atmosphere. The workshop will be accompanied by prominent professors, researchers and practitioners in the fields of database technology. These accompanying professors will participate actively and contribute to the discussions. The workshop is co-located with and will take place after the SIGMOD 2010 conference on June 11th, 2009.

=============================
Benefits for Participants
=============================

Free pre-registration to participation in IDAR 2010 will be offered at the SIGMOD registration webpage.

SIGMOD will fund up to 10 travel grants of up to US$1,000 for students who will present a paper at IDAR (one student per accepted paper). Student with professors who have ample travel funding are encouraged to get their funding from their professors.

=============================
Important Dates
=============================
- Deadline for submission: March 22, 2010
- Notification to authors: April 21, 2010
- Camera ready due: May 7, 2010
- Ph.D. Workshop: June 11, 2010

=============================
Topics of Interest
=============================

The topics of interest for the PhD Workshop are the same as the SIGMOD series. These topics include (but are not limited to):

- Benchmarking and performance evaluation
- Data quality, semantics and integration
- Database monitoring and tuning
- Data privacy and security
- Data mining and OLAP
- Embedded, sensor and mobile databases
- Indexing, searching and database querying
- Managing uncertain and imprecise information
- Novel/ Advanced applications and systems

- Semi-structured data
- Storage and transaction management
- Web services

=============================
Submission
=============================

Papers describing doctoral work should be submitted in PDF or PostScript format using EasyChair:

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=idar2010

The paper length should not exceed 6 pages formatted according to ACM SIG proceedings template. In contrast to regular conference papers, submissions should address specifically doctoral work. Therefore, the following elements are recommended:

- A clear formulation of the research question.
- An identification of the significant problems in the field of research.
- An outline of the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well as the state of existing solutions.
- A presentation of any preliminary ideas, the proposed approach, and the results achieved so far.
- A sketch of the applied research methodology.
- A description of the Ph.D. project’s contribution to the problem solution.
- A discussion of how the suggested solution is different, new, or better as compared to existing approaches to the problem.

The intention of this workshop is to support and inspire Ph.D. students during their ongoing research efforts. Therefore, it is necessary that authors will have neither achieved their Ph.D. degree nor submitted their thesis before the Ph.D workshop (June 11th, 2010). To enforce this rule, we require authors to disclose their expected graduation date and their advisor’s name when submitting. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings, which will appear on the SIGMOD DISC.

First International Workshop on “Computational Intelligence Inspired Engines” (CIIE 2010)
Co-located with the First International Conference on Integrated Intelligent Computing (ICIIC 2010)

SJB Institute of Technology, Bangalore, India
August 05-08, 2010

About the workshop

Despite the sophistication and robustness in data processing, information extraction has not resulted in optimal success. The heterogeneity and semantic complexity remain unsolved in the web world. The Web and the amount of information is growing at such a pace that it’s an imperative to build an intelligent system that leverages knowledge and exploits it efficiency for the end-users. The problem of syntactic heterogeneity among online datasets emerged as a result of varied data formats and the increasing complexity in data representation. When the computational intelligence is based on a highly objective and sophisticated natural-language analysis, the systems can sense the semantics of the languages.

The goal of the workshop is to present the recent analytical experimental investigations on building intelligence engines. The topics include are not limited to -

* Machine Learning
* Evolutionary Algorithms
* Tabu Search
* Probabilistic Reasoning
* Fuzzy Logic
* Neural Networks
* Intelligence Data Mining
* Logic and reasoning
* Knowledge representation
* NLP
* Machine translation
* Text mining
* Machine perception
* Semantic querying
* Multilingual analysis
* Intelligent algorithms

CALL FOR PAPERS ***REVISED DATES***

TLAD 2010 - 8th International Workshop on Teaching, Learning and Assessment of Databases

28 June 2010

University of Abertay Dundee, UK

(http://www.ics.heacademy.ac.uk/events/events.php
http://www.bncod2010.co.uk/TLAD/main.html)

The teaching of databases is central to all Computing Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems and Information Technology courses. For the previous seven years, TLAD workshops have brought together those teaching database modules in order to share good learning, teaching and assessment practice and to explore which methods are appropriate to database modules.

The eighth workshop will be held on the day before the British National Conference on Databases at the University of Abertay in Dundee and this year the workshop will concentrate on novel teaching and assessment approaches for database and database related modules, as well as covering other issues related to the teaching, learning and assessment of databases. It is intended that the workshop will include plenty of time for discussion this year, and so contributions are sought particularly in the areas of (
but not restricted to):

- novel teaching areas and their relationship to databases;
- databases and enterprise level computing;
- creating suitable curricula for the rapidly evolving ways in which database technology is used;
- use of appropriate and novel assessment techniques;
- use of appropriate and novel database technologies to enrich the student experience;
- ensuring that theory and practice are balanced in database teaching;
- exploiting innovative teaching methods in order to enhance the student learning experience;
- exploiting effective learning and teaching mechanisms for distance learning;
- pedagogical and organisational frameworks and paradigms;
- adaptivity in learning systems;
- integrating the teaching of databases from schools, through universities to the CPD of those in employment;
- teaching of internet programming and their use of databases;
- teaching of ubiquitous and pervasive application programming and their use of databases;
- relationship between XML and databases;
- teaching methods for data mining, data warehousing and OLAP.

We would again like to receive contributions from those who have an involvement in teaching or developing learning materials in all forms of education who have considered the above issues and have some thoughts or solutions to offer. Research papers, demonstrations, panel and discussion topics are welcome.

Please send all submissions (papers, demonstration descriptions or panel/discussion group ideas) to TLAD2010@abertay.ac.uk. All submissions should be made as PDF or MS Word documents. The proceedings will be published by the Higher Education Academy.
