Ailamaki and CS/ECE Team Awarded Best Demo at ICDE
April 10, 2006
A team of researchers led by Anastassia Ailamaki, Assistant Professor of CS and ECE, won the best demonstration award at the 22nd International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE) in Atlanta, Georgia. Collaborating on the research, "Simultaneous Pipelining in QPipe: Exploiting Work Sharing Opportunities Across Queries," were CS graduate students Debabrata Dash, Kun Gao, Nikos Hardavellas, Stavros Harizopoulos, Naju Mancheril, and Vladislav Shkapenyuk, as well as ECE graduate students Ryan Johnson and Ippokratis Pandis.
Demonstrations were selected based on their novelty, technical quality, and the attractiveness of the system. Carnegie Mellon's entry was in the "New Approaches in Data Engineering" category. According to the ICDE website, "Data Engineering deals with the use of engineering techniques and methodologies in the design, development and assessment of information systems for different computing platforms and application environments."
The conference is sponsored by the IEEE computer society.
