Webdam dissemination
April 2nd, 2010
Serge Abiteboul attended the Datalog 2.0 Conference, at Oxford. He presented a survey of works around AXML and Webdam (Abiteboul10WSOxford)
Ioana Manolescu organized a very interesting panel at the last Conference on Extending Database Technology in Lausanne (joint with International Conference on Database Theory). Serge was a member of the panel (Manolescu10EDBTPanel, Abiteboul10EDBTPanel). Recent Webdam works on probabilistic XML was also presented at ICDT.
Serge is co-organizer of the Dagstuhl workshop Enabling Holistic Approaches to Business Process Lifecycle Management.
It is nice to see that topics that are important for Webdam are gaining popularity:
- Datalog that was not very fashionable is striking back.
- Data-centric workflows are one of the topics of the Dagstuhl workshop.
- In general there is renewed interest for distributed data management.
