DATA ENGINEERING CALL-FOR-PAPERS


The Third International Conference on Data Engineering
	Pacifica Hotel, Culver City (Los Angeles), California, USA
	February 3-5, 1987 (Tutorials 2,6 February)
	Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society

SCOPE

Data Engineering is concerned with the role of data and knowledge
about data in the design, development, management, and utilization of
information systems.  As such, it encompasses traditional aspects of
databases, knowledge bases, and data management in general.  The
purpose of the third conference is to continue to provide a forum for
the sharing of experience, practice, and theory of automated data and
knowledge management from an engineering point-of-view.  The
effectiveness and productivity of future information systems will
depend critically on improvements in their design, organization, and
management.

We are actively soliciting industrial contributions.  We believe
that it is critically important to share practical experience.  We
look forward to reports of experiments, evaluation, and problems
in achieving the objectives of information systems.  Papers which
are identified as such will be processed, scheduled, and published 
in a distinct track.  


                       TOPICS OF INTEREST

  o Logical and physical database design    o Design of knowledge-based systems
  o Data management methodologies           o Architectures for data- and
  o Distribution of data and information        knowledge-based systems
  o Performance Evaluation                  o Data engineering tools
  o Expert systems applied to data          o Applications
  o Data Security

The days preceeding and following the conference will be exclusively devoted to tutorials.
Additional mini-tutorials will be presented during the last evening
of the conference. A special DBMS vendor day will include short
DBMS-specific tutorials to acquaint attendees with current commercially
available products.  Those interested in presenting tutorials should
contact the Tutorial Chairman by May 15, 1986.


AWARDS, STUDENT PAPERS, AND SUBSEQUENT PUBLICATION:

An award will be given for the best paper at the conference.  The best
student paper will receive the K.S. Fu award, honoring one of the
early supporters of the conference.  Up to three awards of $500 each
to help defray travel costs will be given for outstanding papers
authored solely by students.  All outstanding papers will be
considered for publication in the IEEE Computer Society Computer
Magazine, the IEEE Expert Magazine, the IEEE Software, and the IEEE
Transactions on Software Engineering.  For more information, contact
the General Chairman.
