CALL FOR PAPERS

          FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE
                          A Conference Sponsored by
           The International Federation for Information Processing
                        Technical Committees 2 and 10

                                Nancy, France
                           16 to 19 September, 1985


This conference has been planned as a successor to the highly successful
conference on the same topics held at Wentworth, New Hampshire, in October
1981.  Papers are solicited on any aspect of functional or logic programming
and on computer architectures to support the efficient execution of such
programs.

Nancy, in the eastern part of France, was the city of the Dukes of Lorraine; it
is known for its "Place Stanistlas" and its "Palais Ducal".  "Art Nouveau"
started there at the beginning of this century.  There are beautiful buildings
and museums and, of course, good restaurants.

Authors should submit five copies of a 3000 to 6000-word paper (counting a full
page figure as 300 words), and ten additional copies of a 300-word abstract of
the paper to the Chairman of the Programme Committee by 31 January 1985.  The
paper should be typed double spaced, and the names and affiliations of the
authors should be included on both the paper and the abstract.

Papers will be reviewed by the Programme Committee with the assistance of
outside referees; authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by 30
April 1985.  Camera-ready copy of accepted papers will be required by 30 June
1985 for publication in the Conference Proceedings.

			    ACM Conference on
     Object Oriented Programming Systems, Languages, and Applications

            September 29 - October 2, 1986,  Portland, Oregon

OOPSLA-86 is a new ACM-sponsored conference that brings together users and
implementors of object oriented systems.  Through tutorials, papers, panel
discussions and workshops, as well as demonstrations, exhibits and videotapes,
OOPSLA-86 will provide a forum for sharing experience and knowledge among
experts and novices alike.  

We invite technical papers, case studies, and surveys in the following areas:

Theory:     		Including core definition of object oriented
			programming, semantic models and methodology.
Languages:  		Existing object oriented languages, extensions to
			conventional languages, and new languages.
Implementation:  	Including architectural support, compilation and
            		interpretation, and special techniques.
Tools and Environments:	Including user interfaces, utilities and operating
            		system support.
Applications:  		Commercial, educational, and scientific applications
			that exploit object oriented programming.
Related Work:  		The object oriented paradigm in other fields such as
			databases and operating systems.

Papers on other relevant topics are welcome, as are proposals for workshops
and panel discussions.

All papers will be refereed prior to selection and inclusion in the conference
proceedings.  Technical papers will be selected on the basis of originality and
contribution to the state of the art of design, implementation, methodology, or
practice.  Survey papers will be selected on the basis of how well they
crystallize and integrate, in a way not previously presented, knowledge about
one or more aspects of the field.

Papers must be submitted in English, and should be no longer than 25
double-spaced pages.  The cover page should include a title, an abstract of not
more than 100 words, and author's name, affiliation, address and phone number. 
Five copies must be received by the Program Chairman at the address below, no
later than April 1, 1986.  Authors will be notified of acceptance by May 1,
1986, and final versions of accepted papers will be due by June 15, 1986.  As
the proceedings of this conference will be widely disseminated, publication of
more than an abstract of a submitted paper is likely to inhibit republication
in ACM's refereed publications.

A room at the conference will be reserved for video presentations that
illustrate or supplement the concepts conveyed in other presentations. 
Submissions must run no longer than 15 minutes, and should be on 3/4-inch
U-Matic format tape.  Tapes must be received by the Video Chairman at the
address below, no later than July 1, 1986.

                      CALL FOR PAPERS

        Sixth ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD-SIGART Symposium on

               PRINCIPLES OF DATABASE SYSTEMS

          San Diego, California, March 23-25, 1987


The conference will  cover  new  developments  in  both  the
theoretical   and   practical   aspects   of   database  and
knowledge-base systems.  Papers are solicited which describe
original  and  novel  research  about  the  theory,  design,
specification, or implementation of database and  knowledge-
base systems.

Some suggested, although not exclusive, topics  of  interest
are:  architecture, concurrency control, database and expert
systems, database machines, data models, data structures for
physical  implementation,  deductive  databases,  dependency
theory, distributed systems,  incomplete  information,  user
interfaces,   knowledge  and  data  management,  performance
evaluation, physical and logical  design,  query  languages,
recursive  rules,  spatial  and  temporal  data, statistical
databases, and transaction management.

You are invited to submit ten copies of a detailed  abstract
(not a complete paper) to the program chairman:

    Moshe Y. Vardi

    650 Harry Rd.
    San Jose, CA 95120-6099, USA

    (408) 927-1784
    vardi@ibm.com


Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of  significance,
originality,  and  overall quality.  Each abstract should 1)
contain enough information to enable the  program  committee
to  identify  the  main contribution of the work; 2) explain
the importance of the work - its novelty and  its  practical
or theoretical relevance to database and knowledge-base sys-
tems; and 3) include  comparisons  with  and  references  to
relevant literature.  Abstracts should be no longer than ten
double-spaced pages.  Deviations from these  guidelines  may
affect the program committee's evaluation of the paper.

The program committee consists of Umesh Dayal, Tomasz Imiel-
inski,   Paris   Kanellakis,  Hank  Korth,  Per-Ake  Larson,
Yehoshua Sagiv, Kari-Jouko Raiha, Moshe Vardi,  and  Mihalis
Yannakakis.

The deadline for submission  of  abstracts  is  October  10,
1986.   Authors  will be notified of acceptance or rejection
by December  8,  1986  (authors  who  supply  an  electronic
address  might  be  notified earlier).  The accepted papers,
typed on special forms, will be due at the above address  by
January  9,  1987.   All  authors of accepted papers will be
expected to sign copyright release forms.  Proceedings  will
be  distributed  at the conference, and will be subsequently
available for purchase through ACM.
