Title: Data Exchange
Speaker: Renee Miller (University of Toronto)

Abstract:
In data integration, an integrated, virtual view of a set of heterogeneous
sources is used for answering queries. Data integration is used widely in
federated systems and within mediator architectures. In such systems,
integration is virtual and data is transformed on-the-fly at query time. In
this talk, we present an alternative to data integration called data exchange.
We present some new results on data exchange that are providing the foundation
for understanding how data can be shared between autonomous and potentially
inconsistent data sources.

Joint work with: Ron Fagin, Ariel Fuxman, Phokion Kolaitis, Lucian Popa and
Wang-Chiew Tan.
