Purpose:
To bring together researchers actively interested in specific con-
cepts for database systems that can directly handle objects of
arbitrary structure and complexity. Application environments for
which such characteristics are required include CAD, software
engineering, office automation, cartography and knowledge represen-
tation. Important issues include data/information models, transac-
tion mechanisms, integrity/consistency control, exception handling,
distribution, protection, object-oriented languages, architectural
issues, storage structures, buffer management, and efficient imple-
mentation.
Format: Limited attendance workshop. Participation is by invita-
tion only.
Everybody wishing to participate must submit a full paper that will
be reviewed by the program committee. Description of work in pro-
gress is encouraged and modifications to the submitted paper can be
made immediately after the workshop and prior to publication in
order to reflect the progress made during the time between submis-
sion and publication and the insights gained from the workshop.
Participants will be invited by the program committee based upon
the relevance of their interests/contributions. There will be
ample discussion time with presentations and special discussion
sessions. Proposals for discussion topics are invited.
