Panels

EDBT 2000 is seeking proposals for panels that discuss important issues of the database field. Note that panels should purposely not be just a sequence of short presentations by the panelists, but really try to create controversy and lively debate, including the audience. For a panel proposal, it is mandatory that the majority of planned panelists have already committed themselves to personally participate should the panel be accepted.

Please send panel proposals directly to the EDBT 2000 Panel & Tutorial Chair Klaus Dittrich (e-mail: panels@edbt2000.uni-konstanz.de).

Should you prefer to send your proposals in hardcopy form or FAX, please use the following address:

Tutorials

EDBT 2000 is looking for high-quality tutorials covering state-of-the-art topics that would be attractive for many conference participants and/or targeted at an audience with an industry background. Potential speakers must be experienced in giving this kind of presentations. They will be required to provide comprehensive tutorial notes prior to the event. EDBT 2000 solicits half-day and all-day tutorials.

Please contact the EDBT 2000 Panel & Tutorial Chair Klaus Dittrich (e-mail: tutorials@edbt2000.uni-konstanz.de) should you plan to give a tutorial at EDBT 2000.

Industry & Applications Sessions

EDBT 2000 encourages active participation from industry. To make it a worthwhile experience and to foster closer interaction among all participants, EDBT 2000 plans theme-centered industrial and application sessions to which primarily industrial people will contribute.

Industrial submissions can be either extended 5-page abstracts or short papers of approx. 10 pages. They should stress experiences in the area of the general conference theme, that relate to the development of products or their applications, and are sufficiently novel to be of interest to a broader community.

Please submit I&A track papers electronically (ASCII, HTML, RTF, PostScript, and PDF formats are acceptable) via e-mail to the EDBT 2000 Industrial & Application Sessions Chair Peter Dadam (e-mail: IA-track@edbt2000.uni-konstanz.de).

Demos

Besides the scientific and industrial program, EDBT 2000 intends to host a forum for demonstrations of software prototypes from universities and research laboratories related to database management systems research and practice.

EDBT 2000 will provide the necessary infrastructure to establish IP connections to/from the conference site.

Please send e-mail to Torsten Grust (e-mail: demos@edbt2000.uni-konstanz.de) prior to October 1, 1999 if you intend to demonstrate software in the context of the EDBT 2000 Demos session.
