E-mail Print



The International DB2 Users Group (IDUG®) is accepting presentation abstracts for IDUG 2011 - North America, May 2-6 in Anaheim, California. This is your opportunity to share your DB2 experience and expertise with an audience of your peers who rely on, or are considering incorporating DB2 in their shop. If your presentation abstract is selected to be delivered at the conference, you will receive one complimentary IDUG 2011 - North America conference registration.

Presentation Requirements

IDUG is soliciting presentation abstracts that explore into details of implementation, migrating to a new release, or maximizing performance from any member of the DB2 product family. In recognition of the complex requirements of today’s database implementations, presentation abstracts relating to migration from Oracle to DB2, upgrading within versions of DB2, and new hardware implementations are also being requested.

All presentations must be strongly technical in nature, cannot contain marketing themes, and must support and strengthen the information services community by providing the highest quality education and services designed to promote the effective utilization of the DB2 and it’s family of products.

Presentation Topics

The Conference Planning Committee strives to achieve a balanced conference program of business solutions relevant to today’s IT environment and usage of DB2 on one or more platforms (e.g., Windows, Linux, UNIX, z/OS). Presentation Categories include:
  • Creative methods for managing database resources
  • Managing performance or availability
  • Experience with migration from competitor RDBMS to DB2.
  • Experiences with data warehousing and business intelligence applications
  • Experiences with distributed, e-business and web applications
  • Experiences with packaged applications (e.g. ERP)
  • Experiences with new releases and features of DBMS
  • Information Integration (e.g. federated access, replication, etc.)
  • Emerging technology (e.g. XML, .NET, SOA, Java, Open Source)
  • Complementary tools and utilities solutions
  • Application development and implementation
