Finally, you should not miss our vision on "Data Pipes: Declarative Control over Data Movement" that will enable efficient use of current hardware; together with Lukas Vogel Pınar Tözün (@[email protected]) Danica Porobic Tianzheng Wang and Alberto Lerner (cf. cidrdb.org/cidr2023/paper…)

We are excited to host Dr. Divesh Srivastava (AT&T) in our Data Science Seminar Series on Feb 10 (Friday)! Title: Exploring and Analyzing Change: The Janus Project Time: 10:30am, Feb 10, 2023 Pacific Location: TASC1 9204 SFU Burnaby (directions:…lnkd.in/g5_6Q3JC

Happy to share that Danica Porobic and I are organizing the 1st Workshop on Simplicity in Management of Data (SiMoD) at SIGMOD 2023! SiMoD aims to promote simple but effective ideas. CFP: sfu-dis.github.io/simod. Submissions can be up to 4 or 10 pages; deadline is March 15.

Three weeks until the deadline (March 15) for our workshop on simplicity in data management (SiMoD) - we look forward to your simple and elegant ideas that work!

Congratulations to our computing science researchers for receiving the 2022 ACM SIGMOD Research Highlight Award for their paper on database systems - Skeena: Efficient and Consistent Cross-Engine Transactions. Read more: ow.ly/7kT550N1b2C SFU Applied Sciences SFU Research

We have extended the submission deadline by one week to March 22 (5pm Pacific) - looking forward to your simple but powerful ideas! We may also be able to provide student travel awards, stay tuned! Danica Porobic

Will give the talk Systems Design Dilemmas: Simplicity Versus Complexity on 25 June 2023 in Seattle as a keynote bit.ly/SiMcmK at the 1st Workshop on Simplicity in Management of Data (SiMoD), part of ACM SIGMOD/PODS #SIGMOD2023 #SiMoD More info at bit.ly/CMoTalks

We are pleased to announced that the Best Paper Award for SiMoD 2023 goes to "Lock-Free Buffer Managers Do Not Require Delayed Memory Reclamation" by Michael Haubenschild and Viktor Leis - Congratulations! Join us on Friday for SiMoD @sigmodconf 8:30 at Regency BC!@danicaporobic

With Danica Porobic we will continue to organise the 2nd Workshop on Simplicity in Management of Data (SiMoD) at ACM SIGMOD/PODS 2024! The workshop aims to promote simple but effective ideas. CFP at sfu-dis.github.io/simod. Send your best work by the deadline (Mar 15)! ACM SIGMOD

About ten days until the deadline (March 15); this is the second edition of the workshop that we (w./ Danica Porobic) are hosting. We look forward to your exciting ideas and seeing you at ACM SIGMOD/PODS this year!

We have extended the deadline to March 20 (11:59 Pacific Time) - looking forward to your simple but powerful ideas! Danica Porobic

Great writeup from InfluxData intern Xiangpeng with help from Andrew Lamb on "How Good is Parquet for Wide Tables (Machine Learning Workloads) Really?" Some good tests and concrete numbers in here: influxdata.com/blog/how-good-…

There are so many interesting insights in this paper. Eg, in the real world only a little less than 50% of the executed statements are read-only SELECTs, whereas in the benchmarks the SELECTs are between 75% to 80%. If you are attending VLDB’24 attend its presentation. (5/n)

Xiangpeng Hao strikes again: Turns out you can both 1. Implement 🇩🇪 strings in Rust 2. They actually improve end to end performance in ApacheDataFusion. It takes a lot more than a straightforward naive implementation to do so: influxdata.com/blog/faster-qu…

📢📢VLDB 2026 will have a ShadowPC! Apply at forms.office.com/e/XYihKj4UKq by March 1! Great opportunity for folk who are new to the data management community and want to gain experience with paper reviewing. For more info, see the application form. Chairs: Zsolt István, Tianzheng Wang , & I.
