Assertion Database Research has the opportunity to make tremendous Impact

– Huge increase in the amount of data collected (Facilitated by tremendous advances in processor, storage, and networking technologies)

However, we must move our focus from managing bits to deriving value from bits.

Redefine what a database management system (What is the intersection of the topics covered in 1974 Sigmod proceedings to the 2005 BNCOD proceedings?)

Three illustrative potential application areas
