Wenfei Fan wins Roger Needham Award 2008 and Yangtze River Scholar Award The Roger Needham award is awarded by the British Computer Society for distinguished research contribution in computer science by a UK based researcher within ten years of their PhD. The Yangtze River Scholar Award (also known as the Chang Jiang Scholar Award), is awarded by the Ministry of Education of China. It is considered one of the most prestigious academic awards given by the People's Republic of China. Professor Wenfei Fan is, simply put, one of the top all-around database researchers in his generation. He has made substantial contributions both to the theory and to the practice of a subject. Wenfeis PhD work opened up a new field of constraints for semi-structured data, which eventually led to the study of constraints for XML, now a mature area well-represented in the full spectrum of database research, from theory to practice to standards. The continuation of this work, which started when Wenfei was at Bell Labs and continued after his arrival to Edinburgh, has now embraced XML and its various schema formalisms, and has broadened to the static analysis of XML query languages. It has resulted in a succession of theoretical papers of outstanding quality and has also influenced the design of XML schema. The general goal of Wenfeis work has been to bring the efficiency and functionality of databases to bear on data on the web. In the past few years his research has resulted in several practical developments: A system for efficiently mapping relational databases into an XML documents with a specified type using a generalization of attribute grammars and a new theory of tree transducers. This is currently in use for generating exportable scientific data sets. A system for imposing secure views of an XML document based on the DTD of that document. The use of partial evaluation (borrowed from functional programming) for the efficient evaluation of boolean queries on distributed data. A method of data cleaning based on conditional functional dependencies,which Wenfei proposed for this purpose. This is a nice application of his early ideas on constraints in databases to the highly practical problem of data cleaning (unclean data is estimated to cost US companies alone more than billions of dollars a year). Wenfei is part of the DatabaseGroup at the Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science . Edinburgh is proud to claim 3 out of the the 5 Roger Needham Awards so far. In addition to Wenfei, Professor Jane Hillston was awarded the prize in 2004 (she was the first researcher in the UK to win this prize) and in 2006 the prize went to Edinburgh graduate, Andrew Fitzgibbon . 以上信息来源于 https://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/events/news/wenfeifan.html Wenfei Fan(University of Edinburgh)
前几天就酝酿着给新blog专门写点儿东西，今天吃过晚饭回来看BBS，已经有人发帖了，现在就贴上来，我也少说两句吧。 Yoichiro Nambu 1/2 for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics Makoto Kobayashi 1/4 Toshihide Maskawa 1/4 for the discovery of the origin of the broken symmetry which predicts the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature 这三个人名都看着眼熟是吧？在规范场论课本里面都提到过。Nambu就是Nambu-Goldstone定理的那个Nambu，Kobayashi和Maskawa，就是CKM矩阵的那个K和M。Nambu虽然是美国国籍，但却是日本血统。那个CKM的K和M，更是纯正的日本人。看来这次是大和民族大丰收了。不过之前翻规范场论的时候，就发现里面的鬼子真多，看来获奖也是意料之中了。这下师弟师妹们学起来就有兴趣得多了吧？到时候一说，这个定理，它的提出者是Nobel Prize获得者，blablabla估计好记多了。 我们还是盼着中国本土的科学家能拿奖。有外籍华人可以拿奖，本土科学家经过不懈努力，一定也行！
交流促进奥林匹克运动发展 Exchange Promote the Evolution of Olympics An isolated population without gene flow will gradually decline. A country locks its doors against the world will finally fall. In the same light, an olympic sport without exchange will lose its charm. In the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, let me show you many examples as follows: A. Chinese coaching abroad: 1. Lang Ping, the head coach of the US women's volleyball team, led the US team climbed out of the doldrums and returned to the rank of the world's top volleyball teams. Now they beat the China team in the preliminary round and won the silver medal finally. 2. Li Mao became coach of the Korean men's badminton team in 1999. He trained Shon Seung Mo to win a silver medal at the Athens Olympic Games. After Athens, he worked for the Malaysian team and coached Li Chongwei, who also won a silver at the Beijing Olympic Games. 3 Qiao Liang, now head coach of the US women's gymnastics team, is the trainer behind famous US gymnast Shawn Johnson, who grasped one gold and three silvers at this year's Beijing Olympic Games. 4 Many more .... although they do cause a lot of trouble for Chinese players but more importantly, the make the sports more brilliant. B. Foreign coaches @ china: 1. Zhang Juanjuan, coached by a South Korean, won China's first- ever Olympic archery title by beating her South Korean competitors. 2. French coach Christian Bauer helped Zhong Man beat French Nicolas Lopez 15-9 to win the men's fencing gold medal. 3. Swimmer Zhang Lin, after a short private training session with Denis Cotterell, won China's first silver medal in men's swimming. 4. Japan's Masayo Imura helped Chinese synchronized swimmers win a first-ever bronze medal. 5. South Korean Kim Chang-back, the field hockey coaching guru for China. His team won a historic silver medal. 6. Spain's Juan Jane Giralt coached Chinese women's water polo team to a record fifth place. 7. Today China has foreign coaches in basketball, hockey, fencing, canoeing, tennis, judo, baseball and swimming. They are greatly helpful to the improvement of Chinses sports. Therefore, the sport communications with other countries will not make us weaker since the competition will keep one sport alive. The exchange will bloom both the development of olympic sports and the quality of human being. 没有基因流动的孤立种群会逐渐消亡； 闭关锁国的国家最终也会衰落； 同样地，没有交流的奥林匹克运动会丧失它的魅力。 北京2008奥运会，让我为你展示许多的例子： A 中国队的洋帅们： 1 击剑队法国外教鲍埃尔。不但为中国击剑带来了先进的训练历练和方法，还帮助仲满最终取得中国男子击剑的第一块奥运金牌。 2 花游队日本外教井村雅代。在她的努力下，中国选手最终在北京奥运会上实现了奖牌的突破。 3 女子曲棍球韩国外教金昶伯。在经过了三届奥运会的洗礼之后金昶伯和她的中国女曲终于在北京取得突破获得银牌。 4 射箭选手张娟娟在女子个人比赛中连克三名高手夺得金牌，为中国射箭项目实现了突破，打破了韩国在射箭项目的垄断地位，执教她的韩国教练杨昌勋堪称幕后的英雄。 5 中国在女子四人双桨项目上实现了赛艇金牌零的突破，虽然赛艇队主教练是中国人，但是立陶宛籍教练伊戈尔依然被水上中心主任韦迪称为功不可没。 6 在皮划艇项目中，中国选手孟关良/杨文军成功卫冕，波兰裔的加拿大人马克无疑是他们夺金背后最大的功臣 7 此外在夺得一金的中国跆拳道队，也有美籍韩裔教练李大成和韩国籍教练金荣稹的努力和汗水。 8 收获两金的中国拳击队的哈萨克斯坦籍教练努尔哈里和摔跤队的德国外教尼斯基也做出了奉献。 9 张琳在男子400米自由泳中获得了一枚含金量堪比冠军的银牌，为中国男子游泳选手实现了奥运奖牌的突破。曾经执教过澳大利亚名将哈克特的丹尼斯教练帮助张琳创造了这个历史。 10 更多的外国教练们，感谢他们促进了中国体育的发展。 B 海外的中国教练 1. 美国女排主教练郎平让美国女排重新焕发出了新的活力，也让她们继1984年奥运会后再次闯进奥运会女排的决赛。 2 在本届北京奥运会上，新加坡女队出现在决赛中与中国女团进行了冠军争夺，她们最终获得银牌，这是新加坡取得的第一枚奥运奖牌。而他们的主教练是刘国栋。 3 澳大利亚跳水队总教练童辉。北京奥运会上，澳大利亚夺得男子单人10米台金牌和女子双人10米台银牌，堪称继中国队之后的第二大赢家。 4 美国体操女队主教练乔良。远赴美国发展并发现了肖恩-约翰逊这个体操小天才，肖恩在这次北京奥运会上更是独得一金三银。 5 韩国羽毛球男单主教练李矛先后担任中国、韩国、马来西亚羽毛球队教练，并培养出董炯、孙俊、朴成焕、李铉一、孙升模等一大批赫赫有名的羽毛球世界名将。 6 更多的海外中国教练，虽然他们给我们的优势项目制造了麻烦，但也使我们的比赛更加精彩。 因此，同其他国家进行体育交流不会使我们更弱因为竞争可以使某个运动项目更有生机。交流不但可以繁盛奥林匹克运动，也会提升人类自身的素质。 资料参考 References： 1 中国辉煌勿忘洋帅功劳 郎平乔良们亦赢得世界掌声. http://nf2008.oeeee.com/a/20080825/631591.html 2 Chinese coaching abroad?
