International Workshop on
Foundations of Models for Information Integration (FMII-2001)
As the 10th Workshop in the Series
Foundations of Models and Languages for Data and Objects (FMLDO)
Viterbo (near Rome), Italy
16-18 September, 2001
(immediately after VLDB-2001)
The 10th FMLDO workshop continues the tradition started in 1989 of a series of international workshops devoted to the Foundations of Models and Languages for Data and Objects. The main principle of this workshop series is to focus on one selected theme different from year to year, and to offer the opportunity for in-depth exchange of ideas and experiences between the best database researchers in the area. This year the focus is on the Foundations of Models for Information Integration. The proceedings will be printed by Springer-Verlag within the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Participation to the workshop will be by invitation.
The workshop will enjoy the talks of three invited speakers:
- Amr El Abbadi, Univ. of California Santa Barbara, USA
- Serge Abiteboul, INRIA, France
- Tamer Özsu, Univ. of Waterloo, Canada
FMII-2001 will be held in Viterbo (near Rome), Italy, 16-18 September, 2001, as an affiliate event with the 27th International Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB-2001, Rome, Italy, 11-14 September, 2001).
FMII-2001 will be immediately after the 8th International Workshop on Knowledge Representation meets Databases (KRDB-2001, 15 September, 2001, chaired by Maurizio Lenzerini).
The workshop will take place in Viterbo, one of the most famous medieval towns of Italy. Still enclosed within its walls, Viterbo has preserved a medieval appearance surprisingly unaltered and is even more colourful due to the survival of the ancient artisan traditions. Churches, edifices, towers, fountains, and the quarter of Saint Pellegrino, are all immersed together with its ancient construction of rock in an extraordinary captivating atmosphere. Viterbo was once the chief town of Tuscia, an area once possessed by the Etruscans, and boasts of archeological findings of this ancient and mysterious civilization found within its vicinity. Viterbo is 80 Km at North of Rome (with its airport, Fiumicino FCO), 150 Km at South of Florence, 90 Km at South of Siena, and 40 Km at West of Orvieto. The city is easily reachable from Rome and Florence by train or by bus.
