Hello, I'm very pleased to announce that the science-databaseResearch meeting held at Asilomar earlier this week was a GREAT success. Essentially, we managed to agree on a common set of database features that science community needs. In response, the database research community led by Mike Stonebraker and David DeWitt proposed to build a new open source DBMS to address these needs. The set of requested features is documented at: https://xldb.slac.stanford.edu/display/XLDB/SciDBMS We are currently working on solidifying science participation, detailed spec of the "sciDBMS", funding, location for this new startup, etc. A report from the meeting will be available shortly. More information will follow soon. Best regards, Jacek -- Jacek Becla Stanford Linear Accelerator Center [log in to unmask] +1 650 926 8664
