Dear Colleague
		I am writing to you to ask you to participate in giving
an advanced course on databases at La Trobe University. The course is
primarily intended for masters by coursework students. It would be 3-4
hours, on either a morning or afternoon, in the week preceding (6-10 August)
or following (20-24 August) VLDB16 in Brisbane. We would also expect computer
scientists from other universities and industry to attend. Whilst we could
arrange for the lectures to be given at other times, the above two weeks would
be the most preferable. Hopefully you could also interact with our large team
of database researchers.
		The choice of topic is at your discretion. It should involve
some discussion of current research issues. If you let me know the topic 
sufficiently in advance I shall give our students some introductory lectures.
Alternatively you could give a one hour lecture.

		Our students will not be paying any fees for the course. 
Whilst we may charge industry attendees, I doubt that they will cover costs.
Our aim is to let the Melbourne Database Community and you interact.

	Regards

		John		johnz@latcs1.oz.au

P.S. Our course is almost arranged, however i would like to give visitors to
Australia for VLDB16 the chance to visit melbourne and interact with 
colleagues.
