Re: Pre-Telecon Introductions

Hi everyone,

I am Benjamin Nguyen, associate professor in databases at University
of Versailles St-Quentin, France, and associate director of the CS
department. I specialise in (distributed) XML databases and their web
applications and have been working for several years now with
sociologists (from universities in Paris and Aix-en-Provence) on
"formal" mailing lists and web standardization. Our project is called
WebStand [1].

My other current focus is that of data privacy in large scale applications.

I am convinced that many interesting database issues will arise within
the social web, and social web applications, and I would like to have
a close look at them.

Kind regards,

BN
