Object-oriented database systems combine the strengths of
object-oriented programming languages and data models, and database
systems.  This one-day workshop will expand on the theme and scope of a
similar OODB workshop held at OOPSLA '87.  The 1988 Workshop will
consist of the following four panels:

  Architectural issues: 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM

    Therice Anota (Graphael), Gordon Landis (Ontologic), 
    Dan Fishman (HP), Patrick O'Brien (DEC),
    Jacob Stein (Servio Logic), David Wells (TI)

  Transaction management for cooperative work: 10:30 AM - 12:00 noon

    Bob Handsaker (Ontologic), Eliot Moss (Univ. of Massachusetts), 
    Tore Risch (HP), Craig Schaffert (DEC), 
    Jacob Stein (Servio Logic), David Wells (TI)

  Schema evolution and version management:  1:30 PM - 3:00 PM

    Gordon Landis (Ontologic), Mike Killian (DEC), 
    Brom Mehbod (HP), Jacob Stein (Servio Logic), 
    Craig Thompson (TI), Stan Zdonik (Brown University)

  Query processing: 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM

    David Beech (HP), Paul Gloess (Graphael), 
    Bob Strong (Ontologic), Jacob Stein (Servio Logic),

Each panel member will present his position on the panel topic in 10
minutes.  This will be followed by questions from the workshop
participants and discussions.  To encourage vigorous interactions and
exchange of ideas between the participants, the workshop will be limited
to 60 qualified participants.  If you are interested in attending the
workshop, please submit three copies of a single page abstract to the
workshop chairman describing your work related to object-oriented
database systems.  The workshop participants will be selected based on
the relevance and significance of their work described in the abstract.

Abstracts should be submitted to the workshop chairman by 15 August 1988.
Participants selected will be notified by 5 September 1988.
