Tova Milo, Winter 2010

 


Seminar Information

The seminar focuses on managing, analyzing, sharing, and integrating data and applications across multiple sources, either on the Internet or at enterprises. This topic has received much attention in the database, AI, Web, IR and verification communities. We shall read recent papers in this area, focusing on several specific issues, and then explore possible future directions. A list of tentative topics/papers is enclosed.
