CALL FOR PAPERS
Second IEEE DATA ENGINEERING CONFERENCE.
This meeting is to be held in Los Angeles, Februrary 4-6, 1986 and
manuscripts are due by July 1, 1985.
SCOPE
Data Engineering is concerned with the role of data and knowledge
about data in the design, development, management, and utilization
of information systems. As such, it encompasses traditional aspects
of databases, knowledge bases, and data management in general. The
purpose of this conference is to continue to provide a forum for
the sharing of experience, practice, and theory of automated data
and knowledge management from an engineering point-of-view. The
effectiveness and productivity of future information systems will
depend critically on improvements in their design, organization, and
management.
We are actively soliciting industrial contributions. We believe
that it is critically important to share practical experience. We
look forwards to reports of experiments, evaluation, and problems
in achieving the objectives of information systems. Papers which
are identified as such will be processed, scheduled, and published
in a distinct track.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
o Logical and physical database design o Design of knowledge-based systems
o Data management methodologies o Architectures for data- and
o Distribution of data and information knowledge-based systems
o Performance Evaluation o Data engineering tools
We also are planning a special workshop track:
o Performance models and measurement of relational database systems
and solicit papers which report or evaluate such findings.
AWARDS, STUDENT PAPERS, AND SUBSEQUENT PUBLICATION:
An award will be given for the best paper at the conference.
Up to three awards of $500 each to help defray travel costs will be given for
outstanding papers authored by students.
Outstanding papers will be considered for publication in the IEEE Computer
Magazine, the Transactions on Computers, and the Transactions on Software
Engineering. For more information, contact the General Chairman.

Epilog
The correct design and implementation of data systems requires attention
to principles from databases, knowledge bases, software engineering, and
system evaluation. We hope you will participate. Gio Wiederhold
