- DOOD'91 -
2nd International Conference on
Deductive and Object-Oriented Databases
December 16-18, 1991, Munich, Germany
sponsored by:
ECRC - Bull, ICL, Siemens; ASTEM RI/Kyoto
supported by:
Commission of the European Communities (requested),ICOT, INRIA, MCC
in cooperation with (requested):
ACM, AFCET, BCS, GI, IEEE, IPS-Japan(approved).
Aim and Topics:
===============
Deductive databases and Object-Oriented databases are at the forefront of
research in the next-generation intelligent database systems. Recently,
research has been aimed at integrating the object-oriented paradigm and
rule-based deduction to provide a single powerful framework for intelligent
database systems. The primary objective of DOOD'91 is to provide a common
forum of technical discussions between researchers/developers of deductive
databases and object-oriented databases, thereby accelerating the integration
of the technical outputs of these two areas. This continues the direction
established by the very successful DOOD'89 conference held in December 1989
in Kyoto, Japan, which attracted more than 350 participants.
The conference will address new developments in theoretical and practical
aspects of deductive databases (DD), object-oriented databases (OOD), and
the integration of these two disciplines. Papers are solicited which describe
original and novel research within this framework. The following is a partial
list of topics of interest:
* Integrating Logic and Object Paradigm
* Operational DOOD Systems
* Concurrent Logic/Object Programming
* Integrity Enforcement in DOOD
* Integration of DOOD with Programming Languages
* Formalization of the Object-Oriented Concepts
* Artificial Intelligence Techniques in DOOD
* Performance of DOOD Systems
* Query Languages and Query Optimization
* Applications of DOOD Systems
* Advanced User Interface to DOOD Systems
* Consistency Checking in DOOD.
Instructions:
=============
Authors should submit six (6) copies of a full paper to one of the Program
Committee Chairpersons by March 15th, 1991. Papers should be no longer than
20 typewritten (double spaced) pages in English. Name(s) and affiliation(s)
of the author(s) with electronic-mail address and/or Fax number should appear
on the cover sheet.
