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:

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.
