会议背景介绍：  VLDB is a premier annual international forum for data management and database researchers, vendors, practitioners, application developers, and users. The conference will feature research talks, tutorials, demonstrations, and workshops. It will cover current issues in data management, database and information systems research. Data management and databases remain among the main technological cornerstones of emerging applications of the twenty-first century.
VLDB2014 will take place at Hangzhou, which is one of the best tourism cities in China. Hangzhou is also one of the eight ancient capitals in Chinese history and one in the first group of National Famous Historical and Cultural Cities. The West Lake in Hangzhou, known as the "earthly paradise", is one of the top attractions in China and abroad. Besides, Hangzhou is the hometown of tea and silk. Longjing Green Tea is the No. 1 among the top ten Chinese teas. attracts many tourists every year, and offers numerous opportunities for sightseeing (e.g., West Lake, Lingyin Temple, Qiantang River), outdoor activities (e.g., hiking, cycling, boating), cluture tasting (e.g., tea, silk, traditional cuisine, Grand Canal ), as well as fun (e.g., Songcheng Theme Park, "Impression of West Lake" light opera).
The conference is organized by Zhejiang University, which was established in 1897 and has long been considered as one of the top-three universities in China. Zhejiang University was honored by the well-known British scholar Joseph Needham as "East Cambridge". More than 160 Zhejiang University alumni have been elected to Chinese Academy of Science and Chinese Academy of Engineering.
