UW CSE Ph.D. alum Jayant Madhavan (now at Google) and UW CSE adjunct professor Phil Bernstein (at Microsoft Research), along with their collaborator Erhard Rahm, have been announced as the winners of the VLDB 2011 “10-year Best Paper Award.”
The award recognizes their paper “Generic Schema Matching with Cupid” as the most influential paper presented at the 2001 International Conference on Very Large Data Bases, with the benefit of a decade’s hindsight.
Congratulations!
