The SIGMOD Ph.D. Workshop on Innovative Database Research (IDAR 2007) is the first SIGMOD PhD Workshop for PhD students to present their ongoing work. The workshop will be accompanied by prominent professors and researchers. The highlights of the IDAR 2007 program are as follows:

* 2 Keynote Presentations
Keynote speaker: Jiawei Han (UIUC,USA)
Title: Towards Successful Ph.D Research in Database Systems and Data Mining
Abstract: A major concern of a Ph.D. student is how to select promising research directions and topics and conduct fruitful research. In this talk, I will discuss some methodologies on selecting good research topics and conducting successful Ph.D. research in database systems and data mining. In particular, I will discuss how a Ph.D. student should select a set of promising research topics and proceed along a successful path. In particular, I will point out a set of research issues on data mining and database systems and discuss some recent progress in this direction.

Keynote speaker: Serge Abiteboul (INRIA, France)
Title: On the life of a researcher
Abstract: I will mention some minor problems of life in academia: getting papers accepted, getting grants, getting evaluated all the time, dealing with unstable colleagues, handling too demanding students, getting overwhelmed by work in a hostile environment, email harassment and more that I will have thought of by the time of the talk. More precisely, I will speak of the beauty of life in academia.
