Thanks to a generous donation from Intel, we are able to offer a limited number of travel grants for students who wish to attend the Second International VLDB Workshop on Data Management for Sensor Networks (DMSN'05). The workshop will be held in conjunction with VLDB on August 29, 2005, in Trondheim, Norway. For more details on the workshop, please visit http://db.cs.pitt.edu/dmsn05 We will be able to give about $500 to each student, which should cover registration for the workshop as well as a one or two night hotel stay. You will still be responsible for your own airplane ticket and VLDB registration, if you wish to attend VLDB. If you are already registered for DMSN'05 you are still encouraged to apply. To better help people plan out their travel, we ask that students apply on or before MONDAY, JULY 11th, 2005 for full consideration. We expect to announce decisions by July 13th, 2005. Interested students should send by email the following material to dmsn05+grant@cs.pitt.edu : 1) Name 2) Email address 3) Current university and department 4) Year in the program (e.g., 2nd year PhD student) 5) A short paragraph (less than 200 words) explaining your research interests and why you would benefit from attending DMSN'05. 6) Whether you attended DMSN'04 last year or not (yes/no) 7) A link to a personal web page that has additional information (e.g., a list of publications). The link may be a direct link to a PDF file that has your CV, if you do not have a web page. Please make sure to send the above material as soon as possible, to dmsn05+grant@cs.pitt.edu Best regards, Alex Labrinidis and Sam Madden
