The First bigD* Regional Symposium on Data and Information Management
April 19, 2008
The Data Management Group in CSE Department is organizing the first bigD* Regional Symposium
on Data and Information Management. The goal of this symposium is to foster the collaborations
and interactions among a large number of research groups working on topics related to data and
information management, in the universities and research institutes in Texas and nearby states.
The name "bigD*" has been chosen as a pun (on BigD! used by the DFW Metroplex) to refer to all
these research groups. The star in D* matches all the areas related to Data and Information
Management, including Databases, Data Mining, Information Retrieval, Multimedia, Data
Visualization, Bioinformatics, and other related areas.
The first bigD* regional symposium on data and information management is being hosted by the
University of Texas at Arlington, on April 19, 2008. Following this, research institutes in
the area will take turn to host this event annually or bi-annually. During the first
symposium, an organization meeting is scheduled to take place, for discussions of future
plan and the 2nd symposium.
