CS545 – Stanford-HP InfoSeminar 2008

This year we have a special edition of the InfoSeminar!
Thanks to generous support by HP Labs we are able
to invite more speakers from beyond the Bay Area.
We have assembled an international stellar cast,
bringing you the best database and information management

The InfoSeminar is held during the winter quarter only. This
time it is organized by Hector Garcia-Molina and Mei Hsu
(from HP Labs).
