日本データベース学会 会員の皆様

東京大学の斉藤です。

SIGMOD/PODS2009の参加のご案内です。

Early Registrationは今月末で締め切りですので、それまでに登録された方は大きく割引となります。

また、swine fluに関しましては、Rhode Islandは現在感染者が非常に少なく、
NYへの遠出さえさければほぼ日本と変わらない状況にあるそうです。

何かご質問等があれば、運営スタッフの木村さん (hkimura [at] cs.brown.edu Brown University) まで、お願いいたします。

For decades, the joint ACM SIGMOD/PODS Conference has established
itself as the top data management conference in the world for
researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to report and share
cutting-edge ideas and results, and to exchange techniques, tools, and
experiences. We are delighted to invite you to attend ACM SIGMOD/PODS,
to be held in Providence, Rhode Island, from June 29 to July 2, 2009.

The conference will take place at the Westin Providence Hotel, where a
block of rooms has been reserved for attendees. Rooms can be booked at
a special conference rate, including a special rate exclusively for
students, either online from the conference web site or over phone by

The deadline for early registration is May 29, 2009. The hotel's room
block will be released after May 30, 2008, so you should make your
