Advanced School on
Data Exchange, Integration, and Streams

DEIS '10 GI-Dagstuhl Seminar 10452,
November 7-12, 2010, Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany
http://www.tks.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/events/deis10

The Gesellschaft für 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

Attendance at the seminar, including accommodation and full board at Schloss
Dagstuhl costs 40 Euros per person per day. For more information, including
