Professor Xiao Hu has received a Best Paper Award at the 2025 ACM SIGMOD/PODS International Conference on Management of Data for her research on optimizing join-aggregate queries. Her paper, Output-Optimal Algorithms for Join-Aggregate Queries, addresses a long-standing open problem in database theory, establishing output-optimal bounds on the efficiency with which such queries can be processed.
The ACM SIGMOD/PODS conference is the premier international forum for database researchers, practitioners and developers. Organized jointly by the ACM Special Interest Group on Management of Data (SIGMOD) and the ACM Symposium on Principles of Database Systems (PODS), the conference brings together leading experts to share research, discuss innovative tools and techniques, and exchange insights on data management.
