We are glad to announce that EDBT/ICDT will be back in Italy as an in-person conference in 2024!
We look forward to welcoming the database community to Paestum.
Serge Abiteboul is a researcher and a pioneer in the fields of data management, database theory, and finite model theory. In 2023-2024, he is celebrating his 70th birthday and his retirement from Arcep, France's telecommunication regulation agency, after a long career as a computer scientist, conducted in large part at Inria. Serge was elected a member of the French Academy of Sciences in 2008, of the Academia Europaea in 2011, and an ACM Fellow in 2011.
To celebrate his scientific career and achievements, a scientific and festive event will be organized in his honor on the occasion of ICDT 2024 in Paestum, Italy, the 27th edition of a conference that Serge helped create in 1986, first held in Rome.
The event will be held on the afternoon of March 24, both in Paestum and online.
A detailed program and further updates will be posted in the coming weeks at the event's dedicated page.
On Tuesday March 26 at EDBT 2024, just before lunch, we will organize a memorial session for Jorge Quiané-Ruiz, who was an active and accomplished member of our community and has regrettably suddenly passed away earlier last year.
This memorial is also open to people who are not registered for the conference. We would like to invite you to this event.
Please register by using this link.
If you wish to share a few words about Jorge in writing, you are welcome to do so at: https://tinyurl.com/in-memoriam-jorge-quiane-edbt. These anecdotes will be shared with his family.
We would be very happy if you could come to the memorial and/or could share a few words about Jorge.
We are pleased to announce that the organizing committee of EDBT/ICDT 2024, together with Open Data Playground, has organized from March 16th to 24th the event Hack4Tourism Salerno, "Map the Unseen Salerno Hackfest", a hackathon aimed at transforming tourism in the Salerno area through fair indexing of destinations, with the intent of enhancing the value of the area and decreasing the general overcrowding of key attractions.
The event encourages participants to develop solutions that ensure balanced representation of various tourist attractions. The goal is to offer tourists a wider range of choices, promoting lesser-known destinations and contributing to more sustainable tourism.
Students will need to analyze ISTAT data, and from other sources, to develop algorithms for fair indexing of tourist destinations, to improve the tourist experience by avoiding overcrowding in popular areas, and, of course, to promote positive impact for both tourists and local communities.
"Map the Unseen Salerno Hackfest" is an event designed for undergraduate and Ph.D. Students divided into teams of four. These teams will have to develop algorithms that are able to integrate historical and current data to map trends and travel patterns in order to suggest alternative destinations based on customized criteria.
More details can be found at the event page.
EDBT/ICDT was the first database conference to shift to an online format due to the pandemic outbreak in 2020.
Despite our great experience with online conferences, we learned that in-person experience remains the most valuable especially for young researchers and newcomers.
Therefore, the 2024 conference will be organized primarily as an in-person event and the organizers strongly encourage all participants to attend in person so they can get the most out of the conference.
However, the conference will have an online component, which allows participants to both attend the conference online and to give online presentations, in case of travel restrictions or other exceptional situations.
The EDBT series of conferences is an established and prestigious forum for the exchange of the latest research results in data management. Held in an attractive European location, the conference provides unique opportunities for database researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore new ideas, techniques, and tools, and to exchange experiences. The previous EDBT events were held in Venice, Vienna, Cambridge, Avignon, Valencia, Konstanz, Prague, Heraklion, Munich, Nantes, St Petersburg, Lausanne, Uppsala, Berlin, Genoa, Athens, Brussels, Bordeaux, Venice, Vienna, Lisbon, Copenhagen (virtual), Nicosia (virtual), Edinburgh (virtual), and Ioannina.
ICDT is an established and prestigious series of international conferences on research in the foundations and theory of data management. The previous ICDT events were held in Rome, Bruges, Paris, Berlin, Prague, Delphi, Jerusalem, London, Siena, Edinburgh, Barcelona, St Petersburg, Lausanne, Uppsala, Berlin, Genoa, Athens, Brussels, Bordeaux, Venice, Vienna, Lisbon, Copenhagen (virtual), Nicosia (virtual), Edinburgh (virtual), and Ioannina.
