The Digital Symposium Collection is pleased
to present video of the PODS 2005 invited talk.
This video is provided in MPEG format.
Invited Speaker Phokion G. Kolaitis, IBM Almaden Research Center and UC Santa Cruz:
Schema Mappings, Data Exchange, and Metadata Management
Abstract: Schema mappings are high-level specifications that describe
the relationship between database schemas.
Schema mappings are prominent in several
different areas of database management,
including database design, information integration,
data exchange, metadata management, and peer-to-peer
data management systems. Our main aim in this talk
is to present an overview of recent advances in
data exchange and metadata management, where
the schema mappings are between relational schemas.
In addition, we highlight some research issues and
directions for future work.
Bio: Phokion G. Kolaitis joined IBM Research in June 2004 as
Manager of the Computer Science Principles
and Methodologies Group (aka the Theory Group) at the Almaden Research
Center. Prior to this, he was a professor of Computer Science at the
University of California, Santa Cruz, where he also served as chair of the
Computer Science Department from 1997 to 2001. He has held a postdoctoral
position at the University of Chicago and visiting positions at UCLA and
Stanford University.
Kolaitis was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1993 and was elected an
ACM Fellow in 2005. He has chaired the program committees of both the
Annual ACM Symposium on Principles of Database Systems (PODS) and the
Annual IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS). His research
interests include logic in computer science, database theory, and
computational complexity.
