Call for Papers and Participation
FIRST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON EXPERT DATABASE SYSTEMS
October 25-27, 1984, Kiawah Island, South Carolina
Sponsored by
The Institute of Information Management, Technology, and Policy,
College of Business Administration,
University of South Carolina
In Cooperation With
Association for Computing Machinery - SIGMOD and SIGART
IEEE Technical Committee on Data Base Engineering
Workshop Program
This workshop will address the theoretical and practical issues
involved in making databases more knowledgeable and supportive of AI
applications. The tools and techniques of database management are
being used to represent and manage more complex types of data and
applications environments.
The rapid growth of online systems containing text, bibliographic, and
videotex databases with their specialized knowledge, and the develop-
ment of expert systems for scientific, engineering and business appli-
cations indicate the need for intelligent database interfaces and new
database system architectures.
The workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners from
academia and industry to discuss these issues in Plenary Sessions and
specialized Working Groups. The Program Committee will invite 40 to
80 people, based on submitted research and application papers (5000
words) and issue-oriented position papers (2000-3000 words).
Topics of Interest
The Program Committee invites papers addressing (but not limited to)
the following areas:
Knowledge Base Systems Knowledge Engineering
