The manuscript must include an abstract and approproate
references. It is important to indicate what the original
contribution of the paper is, and to include a comparison
with relevant previous work. Papers longer than 25 double-
spaced, typewritten pages are subject to immediate rejec-
tion. Each paper will be reviewed by three Program Commit-
tee members and judged on the basis of its originality,
relevance, significance and overall quality. Outstanding
papers will also be considered for publication in the ACM
Transactions on Database Systems.
Notification of acceptance or rejection of papers will be
done by February 10, 1986. For inclusion in the Conference
Proceedings, the final draft of each accepted paper, typed
on special forms, must be received by the Program Chairman
by March 10, 1986. Authors of accepted papers will be
expected to sign a copyright release form.
Panel sessions will be an important part of the conference.
We solicit proposals for these panels. Each proposal must
include the subject matter of the panel, the justification
for having it, who would participate, and who would organize
it. Proposals should be sent to Marc Smith at MCC (same
address as Zaniolo's), phone (512) 343-0860.
