DBclips' Concept

Authors of accepted papers are strongly encouraged to create DBclips before the conference.

Alon Halevy has written in his blog:

The success of YouTube and the like have proven a very simple point: a 5-minute video is a very effective mode of communication. People love to see stuff in 5-minute nuggets (or less). I'm suggesting we learn from this observation for better dissemination of scientific results.

A 5-minute presentation (done well) can give quite a bit of information and insight about a publication, certainly more than the 100-word abstract or the paper's introduction. I know I would love to sit through a bunch of these from time to time and learn more about what's going on in my field, even in areas that are farther away from my main interest areas (in fact, probably mostly in such areas). A video also captures the enthusiasm and emphases of the speaker (not to speak of the fact that it preserves their youth for eternity!)

Please note that the purpose of DBclips is simply for future consumption. It does not influence presentation decisions at the conference.

Participation

What do you have to do to participate in DBclips?

1. Create a 5-minute video of your accepted talk or demo at ICDE 2008.
2. Upload it to a publicly available video service (like YouTube, Yahoo! Video, or scivee.tv), add your paper title and tag it with ICDE 2008.
3. Send us an email with the link to your video so we can list it on this webpage. Please include your name, your paper number and title, and the link to the video. The email address is: dbclips [at] icde2008.org

Award

The PC chairs will award a price to the best DBclip.
