FIVE COMLAB PAPERS ACCEPTED FOR VLDB CONFERENCE

The Computing Laboratory's Information Systems Group scored five research papers (out of five submitted) at the 2010 International Conference on Very Large Data Bases (VLDB 2010) to be held in Singapore in mid September. VLDB is a top class database systems research conference with a traditionally low acceptance rate (around 15%). Through the acceptance of five research papers, Oxford University became a global top performer in the research tracks of this year's VLDB conference: No other university has achieved this number of accepted papers in the research tracks of the 2010 VLDB conference. Congratulations to our Information Systems Group!

Here is the list of the accepted Comlab papers:

- Destabilizers and Independence of XML Updates (Benedikt and collaborators)

- Advanced Processing for Ontological Queries (Cali, Gottlob and Pieris)

- Probabilistic XML via Markov Chains (Benedikt, Olteanu, and collaborators)

- Scalable Data Exchange with Functional Dependencies (Marnette and collborators)

- The Impact of Virtual Views on Containment (Benedikt and Gottlob)
