VLDB 2003 PhD Workshop: Call for submissions

        VLDB 2003 PhD Workshop
        ======================

        Berlin, Germany
        September 12-13, 2003

Aims

The VLDB PhD Workshop is intended to bring together PhD students
working on topics related to the VLDB Conference series. It is
supposed to be an opportunity for young researchers at the start of
their careers to share their work with others in a similar position
from all around the world, to present and to discuss their research in
a constructive and international atmosphere.  Building links and
person-to-person networks shall be beneficial to our science and be
long lasting and rewarding for yourselves. Furthermore, we invited a
few more experienced researchers, people who have had experience in
supervising and examining PhD students, so as to provide feedback and
advice to the participants.

The workshop addresses PhD students at any stage of their PhD work:
people just starting their PhDs, those in the middle and some close
to completion.
