Views 1996 Call for Papers and Attendance

Workshop on Materialized Views: Techniques and Applications
(In Co-operation with ACM Sigmod)
Friday, June 7, 1996
Le Centre Sheraton Hotel, Montreal, Canada.

CALL FOR PAPERS and ATTENDANCE

Materialized views have recently seen a renewed interest in the research and commercial communitites because of their applications in warehousing, schema integration in heterogeneous databases, visualization, integrity constraints, query optimization, and decision support. Leading database vendors are currently implementing or planning to implement materialized views in some form. Several database research groups in academia are also studying materialized views.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together people working on various aspects of materialized views - their storage, maintenance, implementation, and applications. What are the problems that need to be solved to efficiently implement materialized views? What are the various consistency options and performance tradeoffs in maintaining materialized views? What are the new applications for materialized views?

The setting will be informal, and will encourage discussion and interaction. We especially encourage the submission of short papers dealing with specific problems, things that didn't work, desirable features, and position papers. An informal proceedings will be published. There will be a $50 registration fee.
