Symposium introduction and Keynote (room 3094)

Query Processing and XML - A Foundation for Intelligent Networks

Michael Franklin, Univiversity of California, Berkeley.

Much has been said about the potential for XML to serve as the basis for solutions to problems ranging from data and application integration to the semantic web. As a survivor of the Object-Oriented Database wars, I was initially hesitant to jump on the XML research bandwagon. Over time, however, I came to the realization that XML could very well be the answer to a number of practical problems I had faced in developing systems for data dissemination, stream processing, and adaptive data management. In this talk, I will expand on this theme, describing how XML, combined with techniques developed for database query processing and data management can be used to provide networked applications with greatly enhanced support for interconnectivity, adaptivity, and perhaps, even improved efficiency.

Bio:

Michael Franklin is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley where his research focuses on the architecture and performance of distributed databases and information systems. He spent several years developing database systems at Wang Laboratories and MCC prior to receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1993. He served as Program Chair for the 2002 ACM SIGMOD Conference and is a member of the editorial boards of the ACM Transactions on Database Systems and the VLDB Journal, the SIGMOD Advisory Board, and the Board of Trustees of the VLDB Endowment. He is also currently an Executive-in-Residence at the Mayfield Fund, a venture capital firm in Menlo Park, CA
