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.
