Industrial-Academic Workshop to Foster Collaboration in Database Research

这个工作坊使从业人员能够与一些学术研究人员讨论多年来出现的数据库实施方面的技术和科学问题。行业演讲者讲述他们在科学或技术难题方面的经验。这使学术界能够从实践者的角度看待研究，并激发了关于学术和产业研究相互支持的讨论。这种相互支持可能包括学术界与产业界之间的互访、获取软件包、源代码（可能是旧的源代码）、数据集、学生访问产业界、产业界对学生的支持等等。此外，还将讨论工业-学术合作和技术转让的障碍，并提出可能的解决办法。本次研讨会的目的是探讨如何建立学术-产业研究合作的相互支持机制，并宣传这些机制。讲习班的结果将通过一份在线报告传播，其他材料将在讲习班网站上提供。

This workshop enables practitioners to discuss with some academic researchers technical and scientific issues in database implementation which have come up over the years. Talks are given by industry speakers about experiences they have had with difficult scientific or technical problems. This enables academics to see research from a practitioner's viewpoint and motivates the discussion on mutual support of academic-industrial research. Such mutual support might include visits from academics to industry or vice-versa, access to software packages, source code (possibly old source code), data sets, student visits to industry, industry support of students and so forth. In addition, the barriers to industrial-academic collaboration and technology transfer are to be discussed and potential solutions proposed. The objective of this workshop is to find out how to set up mechanisms of mutual support for academic-industrial research collaboration and to publicize these mechanisms. The results of the workshop will be disseminated via an online report and additional material will be made available at the workshop Web site.
