Knowledge from Heterogeneous Massive Data". This five-day
summer school follows the successful tradition of previous EDBT
schools: stimulating lectures by leading researchers in the
field, competitive research challenges to build upon and extend
the lectures, and a lively scientific and social program.
* Speakers and lecture topics:
- “Mining Temporal Networks”.
Aristides Gionis, with Polina Rozenshtein. Aalto University - Finland.
- “Data Curation and Machine Learning”.
Ihab Ilyas. University of Waterloo - Canada.

* Abstracts of the lectures can be consulted at
https://edbtschool2019.liris.cnrs.fr/lectures.html
* We invite advanced graduate students, postdocs, and other
academic and industrial researchers interested in an intensive
study of the state-of-the-art techniques for managing data
heterogeneity and extracting knowledge from such data to
participate in the summer school. Application and registration
details can be found on the school website.:
https://edbtschool2019.liris.cnrs.fr.

the course activity is equivalent to 2 ETCS. Some universities
may accept such a certificates towards the coursework required
for their PhD program. The decision on the recognition of the
ECTS depends exclusively on the participant's institute.

Call for Papers (First submission cycle)
March 30 - April 2, 2020, Copenhagen, Denmark
https://databasetheory.org/node/97
* ICDT is an international conferences series that addresses the
principles and theory of data management. Since 2009, it is annually
and jointly held with EDBT, the international conference on extending
database technology. See https://databasetheory.org/icdt-pages.
* As ICDT strives to broaden its scope, ICDT 2020 will have a Reach Out
Track that calls for
- novel formal frameworks or directions for database theory and/or
- connections between principles of data management and other
communities.
* Every topic related to the principles of data management is relevant to ICDT.
Examples of relevant topics include
- Data mining, information extraction, information retrieval, and
database aspects of machine learning
- Data models, design, structures, semantics, query languages,
and algorithms for data management
- Distributed and parallel databases, cloud computing
- Databases and knowledge representation
- Graph databases, (semantic) Web data, and Web services
- Data streams and sketching
- Data-centric (business) process management and workflows
- Data and knowledge integration and exchange, data provenance, views,
and data warehouses

2019 ACM PODS ALBERTO O. MENDELZON TEST-OF-TIME AWARD
Announcement of the winners
* The ACM PODS Alberto O. Mendelzon Test-of-Time Award is awarded
every year to a paper or a small number of papers published in the
PODS proceedings ten years prior that had the most impact in terms of
research, methodology, or transfer to practice over the intervening
decade. The award was established in 2007 and was awarded for the
first time in 2008. More information about the award is available at
http://www.sigmod.org/the-pods-pages/acm-pods-alberto-o.-mendelzon-test-of-time-award
* It is our great pleasure to announce the winner of the 2019 ACM PODS Alberto O. Mendelzon Test-of-Time Award:
* General Datalog-Based Framework for Tractable Query Answering over Ontologies by Andrea Cali, Georg Gottlob and Thomas Lukasiewicz
* CITATION: This paper introduces and studies the Datalog+- framework
for query answering over ontologies, which subsequently became
highly influential in both the database and knowledge representation
communities. Its main contribution is an in-depth study of the data
complexity of Datalog+-, and several extensions and restrictions
tailored to ontologies. The paper identifies a tractable family of
Datalog+- formalisms based on linear tuple-generating dependencies,
that generalize description logics of the DL-Lite family.
Extensions with keys and stratified negation are also studied. Other
technical results of the paper concerning the chase have been
fundamental to further developments in the field. The paper
received over 450 citations, evidencing its significant impact.
* The award will be presented to the authors during the 2019 ACM SIGMOD/PODS Conference, to be held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, on June 30 - July 5, 2019.
* Congratulations to this year's winners!
