2007 SIGMOD DISSERTATION
AWARD RECIPIENTS
The SIGMOD Dissertation Award Committee presents the 2007 SIGMOD
Dissertation Award to Ariel Fuxman (advisor: Renee J. Miller) for his
work at the University of Toronto and his dissertation on
"Efficient Query Processing over Inconsistent Databases".
This dissertation combines theoretical and conceptual work on query
rewriting for inconsistent and uncertain data, with implementation and
experimentation demonstrating effectiveness of the approach on
large-scale databases. The work is significant in bringing sound
database theory into practice and offering efficient solutions to
urgent real problems.
Two other nominees receive Honorable Mention recognizing their
outstanding work on theoretical foundations and development of
algorithms with great impact on important practical problems: Cong Yu
(advisor: H.V. Jagadish), for his dissertation on "Managing
Complex Databases in a Schema Management Framework" at the
University of Michigan, and, Nilesh Dalvi (advisor: Dan Suciu), for
his dissertation on "Managing Uncertainty Using Probabilistic
Databases" at the University of Washington.
