Charter
The Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter has been chartered by ACM on September 24, 1992. According to the charter, it was formed to operate under the sponsorship of the ACM, the Local Activities Board, ACM SIGMOD, and the SIG Board. The Chapter supports activities complementary to ACM SIGMOD, the ACM, and other ACM activities in Russia. The Chapter is operated exclusively for educational and scientific purposes without any related financial duties.

The 100th Seminar of the
Chapter
Objectives
General objectives of the Chapter are stated in the charter as: Improve scientific contacts between the Moscow (Russian) and
worldwide database communities. Collect and disseminate relevant technical publications to the
Moscow database and broader computer science community. Contribute to technical development through support of
lectures, professional development seminars and technical briefings.
Advance database technology and improve technical interchange through conferences and workshops in Russia and in the former USSR.
The Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter is attempting to serve as a bridge with the Worldwide Database community across the new economical and organizational barriers.

Chapter
Activities: Seminars
Regular work of the Moscow Chapter is organized through its monthly seminar held at the Moscow State University. Seminar meetings devoted to various aspects of databases and information systems (such as object-oriented approach in databases, transaction management and workflows, efficient storage structuring, formal aspects of database theory, object design methodologies, compositional information systems development methods, deductive databases, etc.) have been organized during the Chapter’s activity. The speakers at the seminars were researchers from Russia and from abroad.
The 100th Seminar Meeting we have TODAY.

The 100th Seminar of the
Chapter
Activities: ADBIS Conferences
The Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter founded the Annual Workshops "Advances in Databases and Information Systems" (ADBIS). In 1993 – 1996 these events were held as the Workshops of the Moscow in collaboration with RFBR
In 1996 after series of discussions with Dr. Won Kim (the ACM SIGMOD Chair at that time) it was agreed to transform ADBIS into the East European Conference to provide a forum for the exchange of scientific achievements in DB&IS between the research communities of the Eastern Europe and the rest of the world
It was agreed that ACM SIGMOD will actively support the organization of the Conference and warrant the high quality of the program. The Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter continue to serve as a focal point of the event.

The 100th Seminar of the
Chapter
Activities: RCDL Conferences
The Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter participates also in organization of another series of All-Russian National Annual Conferences on Digital Libraries (RCDL). The conferences are supported by RFBR.
Six conferences of this series took place in St. Petersburg, Protvino, Petrozavodsk, Dubna, St. Petersburg, Puscshino
The seventh conference in this series is planned in October 2005 in Yaroslavl, the ancient Russian city. These conferences are open for participation of foreign specialists.

The 100th Seminar of the
Chapter
Activities: Chapter’s Library
Taking into account difficulties in Russia with getting access to the worldwide computer science and database research literature a Chapter’s library is collected to be available for the Moscow database and broader computer science community. During several years, ACM contributed the library with the ACM journals.
![Page 12: The 100 th Seminar of the Chapter MOSCOW ACM SIGMOD CHAPTER: Objectives and Activities html:](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082518/56649e9d5503460f94b9efbf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The 100th Seminar of the
Chapter
Activities: Cooperation with ACM SIGMOD
ADBIS Conferences are usually organized in cooperation with ACM SIGMOD. The Chapter as well as the ADBIS Steering Committee joined the ACM SIGMOD program "SIGMOD Digital Symposium Collection (DiSC)" aiming at collecting symposium Anthologies on compact discs. Concerning ADBIS, the Anthology currently includes papers accepted for ADBIS that took part during 1994 - 2002. Materials of later conferences will follow as soon as the copyright issues with Springer will be resolved.

The 100th Seminar of the
Chapter
Activities: SIGMOD – VLDB DB Anthology distribution for the Eastern Europe
The chapter assisted a joint program established by ACM SIGMOD and VLDB foundation to distribute database literature (SIGMOD's Silver Edition and the SIGMOD 2003 DiSC on DVDs) to universities around the world, with the goal of assisting in the expansion of the database community in those countries.
Using the ADBIS SC infrastructure, we collected a list of 72 libraries in Armenia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia (14 libraries), Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine have been collected and DVDs have been distributed to them by ACM.

Chapter
Activity: Attempts to improve contacts with ACM
Recently ACM formed a strategy group that is looking at how ACM can better serve the populations outside North America -- such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China -- where there is growing interest in and development of computing, possibly with specialized publications and special access, and that ACM should be taking advantage of the growing number of SIG chapters worldwide, and the many SIG conferences based outside North America
John White: “We are rethinking everything about outreach to key areas of the world”.

The 100th Seminar of the
Chapter
Experience: direct joint actions with the ACM and ACM SIGMOD
Cooperating with SIGMOD helped to take an important decision to transform the ADBIS conference into the East European event
We were receiving very important support of the ACM SIGMOD for about 5 years since 1997 providing an ability to the ADBIS area people (like 3 – 4 persons per year) to attend the ACM SIGMOD Conference.
We were supported by ACM that for several years provided ACM journals
Publishing of the SIGMOD Sister Societies paper (SIGMOD Record, 2000)
Preparing a draft Agreement with ACM to form ACM Russia – the Coordinating Centre for ACM Activities in Russia

The 100th Seminar of the
Chapter
Experience: negative observations
There are no regular contacts between SIGs and Chapters. There are no ACM provisions for such form of contacts.
Any efficient SIG procedure of supporting chapters with high ranked, well known ACM professionals for giving courses of lectures, organizing seminars etc. does not exist
Organization of conferences “in-cooperation with SIG” is too bureaucratic
ACM with publishers agreements are not well regulated. The ACM RUSSIA idea has been discontinued by ACM
without any reasonable arguments.
