CANDIDATES FOR THE UPCOMING ACM SIGMOD ELECTIONS

摘要

A clear sign of a healthy organization is the willingness of its members to volunteer their time to support and guide it. SIGMOD is particularly fortunate in this regard. As evidence is the slate of candidates listed on the following pages. These six people have agreed to run for positions as SIGMOD officers, and if elected, are committed to overseeing and improving the wide-ranging activities of SIGMOD and continuing the progress that has made us one of the leading SIGs in ACM. The slate was chosen through a rigorous process required by ACM. In September 2004, current SIGMOD Chair Tamer Oezsu asked me to chair the nominating committee. I signed on, provided that Tamer agreed to be one of the committee members, which he did. I then invited three additional senior members to join the committee: Hank Korth of Lehigh University, Beng Chin Ooi of the National University of Singapore, and Timos Sellis of the National Technical University of Athens. Fortunately, they all accepted.
