Within just a few hours driving distance, the midwest has an incredible collection of database researchers and students. The goal of the Midwest Database Research Symposium is to strengthen the ties between these individuals and encourage future discussions, interactions and collaborations, through a day of interaction and networking once a year. To foster on-to-one interaction, this year's Symposium will focus on poster sessions and demos. We will have two "split" poster sessions (so people have a chance to see posters from all other schools), with sufficient room for every attendee who wants to (and even some non-attendees) to have a poster. There will also be room for attendees to present demos along with their posters.
Attendees will register on site to receive a name tag. No preregistration is needed, other than a headcount of attendees from each school's coordinator. Each school's coordinator should also send a headcount of demo presenters, as there is limited demo space. Information will be available at the registration desk on the day of the symposium about where to set up demos and posters and how to get wireless access.
If you are interested in attending and your University isn't listed
(or if you aren't at a University), please contact

No proceedings will be published, however we plan a brief summary
(event report
) for SIGMOD Record.
All sessions of the Symposium will be held at the the new Richard and Patricia Lawson Computer Science Building at Purdue University, at the northwest corner of 3rd and University streets in West Lafayette. The address is 305 N. University Street, West Lafayette, IN 47907-2107. Parking is available free of charge (after 5pm on Friday) in the parking structure across the street (southwest corner of 3rd and University.) Most mapping services seem to give pretty good directions to the above address.
If you need accomodations, be aware that due to West Lafayette's
wonderful reputation as a spring break hot spot, hotels may be hard
to find. Seriously, it seems to be some sort of parents weekend
and Spring Fest
(where you can do such fun things as
have
insects for lunch)
and the decent hotels in
West Lafayette are booked. Quite a bit available at
reasonable prices in Lafayette, however. For those on a
tight budget, we can arrange some private housing with
faculty/students - contact
Chris Clifton ()
if you need such arrangements.
