The 2003 Workshop on Streaming Systems will draw together many communities that are dealing with streams in aspects of their research -- these include computer architecture, programming languages, networking, databases, graphics and digital signal processing. As each community has developed a different perspective on streams, this workshop aims to bring together the leaders of streaming research from different fields, to understand their perspectives, to learn from their experiences and insights, and to identify possible synergies and collaborations that can advance streaming technologies.

Venue

The workshop will be held at the MIT Endicott House in Dedham, Massachusetts. Endicott House is located about 30 minutes from downtown Boston, and the best way to get there is by car (click here for directions). The exact coordinates are:
