DESCRIPTION:Prof. Renée J. Miller\, University of Toronto\nAbstract\nWe p
 resent a retrospective on key contributions of the Clio project\, a joint 
 project between the IBM Almaden Research Center and the University of Toro
 nto begun in 1999. Clio’s goal is to radically simplify information inte
 gration\, by providing tools that help in automating and managing one chal
 lenging piece of that problem: the conversion of data between representati
 ons. \nClio pioneered the use of schema mappings\, specifications that des
 cribe the relationship between data in two heterogeneous schemas. From thi
 s high-level\, non-procedural representation\, it can automatically genera
 te either a view\, to reformulate queries against one schema into queries 
 on another for data integration\, or code\, to transform data from one rep
 resentation to the other for data exchange. In this talk\, we focus on two
  key components of Clio: the creation of mappings between heterogeneous sc
 hemas\, and their use for the implementation of data exchange.\n\nSpeaker'
 s bio\nRenee J. Miller is a professor of computer science and the Bell Can
 ada Chair of Information Systems at the University of Toronto.  She receiv
 ed the US Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PE
 CASE)\, the highest honor bestowed by the United States government on outs
 tanding scientists and engineers beginning their careers. She received an 
 NSF CAREER Award\, the Premier's Research Excellence Award\, and an IBM Fa
 culty Award.  Her research interests are in the efficient\, effective use 
 of large volumes of complex\, heterogeneous data.  This interest spans dat
 a integration and exchange\, inconsistent and uncertain data management\, 
 and data curation and cleaning.  She serves on the Board of Trustees of th
 e VLDB Endowment and served as PC co-chair of VLDB in 2004.  She received 
 her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin\, Madison and
  bachelor's degrees in Mathematics and Cognitive Science from MIT.
