• [Sep 06] UC Davis becomes an OGC member UC Davis is now an official member of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). Professor Gertz is the technical point of contact at UC Davis.
• [Nov 2004] Dr. Bertram Ludäscher, Associate Research Scientist at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, has joined the Department of Computer Science November 2004. Dr. Ludäscher's research interests are in Knowledge-based information systems, information integration (model-based/semantic mediation) esp. of scientific data, management of semistructured data (XML), and database theory. For details, please check his current Web site.
• [Jun 2003] Great news! Our NSF-ITR (medium) proposal "ITR: Adaptive Query Processing Architecture for Streaming Geospatial Image Data" has been funded. The project, led my Michael Gertz (PI, Dept. of Computer Science), Susan Ustin (Co-PI, Director of CalSpace Center of Excellence), and Quinn Hart (Co-PI, Calspace and Dept. of Computer Science), focuses on models, techniques, and architectures for the adaptive processing of real-time remotely sensed, streaming geospatial satellite image data. We have set up a Web site for our GeoStreams project.
• [Jul 2003] Computer Science Professors Michael Gertz and Karl Levitt have received an NSF Award in the context of the Data and Applications Security (DAS) program for their proposal on Security Analysis and Re-engineering of Databases. Many thanks to NSF for the recognition and for funding this project. 
• Michael Gertz, Tamer Özsu (University of Waterloo, Canada), Kai-Uwe Sattler, and Gunter Saake (both University of Magdeburg, Germany) organized a Dagstuhl Workshop "Data Quality on the Web", which took place in August 2003. Check out the local Web page for presentations, papers etc.
