The ACM PODS (Principles of Database Systems) Alberto O. Mendelzon Test-of-Time Award was established in 2007 and was awarded for the first time in 2008. It is awarded every year to a paper published in the PODS proceedings ten years prior “that had the most impact in terms of research, methodology, or transfer to practice over the intervening decade.”
The winner of the 2010 ACM PODS Alberto O. Mendelzon Test-of-Time Award is UW CSE professor Dan Suciu, for his paper “Typechecking for XML Transformers,” co-authored with Tova Milo and Victor Vianu and published in PODS 2000.
Congratulations Dan!
