"High Tech Database Systems"
Commercial relational database systems have been evolving rapid-
ly over last three to four years. During this time a new market
segment has appeared whose interests focus on requirements not
necessary in typical Data Processing applications.
Projects involving CADCAM, satellite data imaging, mapping, and
automated testing require a database with much more flexible
User Interfaces, greatly enhanced data representation, and data
integrity tools, among other things.
This talk will describe these needs and discuss some of the ways
in which the EMPRESS product aims to support this area.

/usr/group/cdn is a Unix user group and trade association. Gen-
eral member meetings are on the second Wednesday of each month.
There are also monthly workshops for technical users, various
publications, an annual conference and trade show, and various
mutual help services.
This year's conference, show, and AGM is April 22-24. At that
time, three new directors will be elected to the board. We need
capable people who actually know and use Unix, and who care
about Unix users, to fill these positions.
