Here it goes................ 1989 ACM SIGMOD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE MANAGEMENT OF DATA Portland, Oregon May 31 - June 2, 1989 The 1989 SIGMOD conference will bring together database research- ers, practitioners and users to discuss and explore the expanding role of database management in an emerging technological society. The conference will present a broad technical program featuring presentations on theoretical results, semantic issues, and sys- tems and applications topics. In addition there will be tutori- als and an exhibit program. The technical program is composed of 42 papers and 4 panels organized in two concurrent tracks. The panel topics will be Benchmarking, Real Time Databases, User Interfaces, and Version- ing. A third concurrent track will feature four half-day tutorials on: Databases and Artificial Intelligence; PC-based DBMS's; Databases for Software Engineering, and Heterogeneous Distributed Systems. The exhibit program will have the theme of User Interfaces to Database Systems, and will feature university research proto- types, commercial vendors' exhibits and vendor presentations. SIGMOD'89 will be held in the Portland Hilton, located in the heart of the "Rose City", the week prior to Portland's annual Rose Festival. The social program will include a reception on Tuesday evening, a sternwheeler cruise up the Willamette River on Wednesday afternoon, and a Pacific Northwest Salmon Bake at OMSI (the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) and Washington Park Zoo on Thursday evening. EXHIBIT PROGRAM This year's exhibit program will have the theme User Interfaces to Database Systems. The exhibits, which will be open each day of the conference, include commercial products and prototypes, and university prototypes. These products and prototypes present innovative user interface solutions such as natural language query processors, graphical query processors, 4-th generation language processors for report generation, constraint and menu guided systems for schema design, customizable editors, and user interface generators. The user interface solutions presented cover a wide range of database environments including relational database systems, object-oriented environments, distributed data- bases, and multidatabases.

Brodie, GTE Laboratories Inc., and John Mylopoulos, University of Toronto Integrated AI-Database technology is required for the effective design, construction, use, and functional enhancement of existing and new Information Systems (IS). It is also critical to the Next Generation of Computing including Intelligent ISs. This tu- torial presents a vision of basic AI and database motivations and concepts; knowledge representation and data models; knowledge/information engineering; deductive databases; extended data/knowledge base systems/shells/environments; implementation and challenges. AI-Database research, technology, and practice is reviewed and evaluated based on the new book edited by Mylo- poulos and Brodie, Readings in Artificial Intelligence and Data- bases, Morgan Kaufman, San Mateo, 1989. The tutorial is intended for professionals working/interested in the area, graduate students and university professors looking for research topics. Dr. Michael Brodie heads the Intelligent Database Systems Depart- ment (IDBS) at GTE Laboratories Inc., in Waltham, Mass. Prior to GTE, he had appointments at the Computer Corporation of America (CCA) and Universities in five countries. He has authored over 60 books, journal articles, and refereed conference papers. For over ten years, he has presented courses on Database Management, Information Engineering, CASE, Integrating AI and Database Tech- nologies, and Intelligent Information Systems in over twelve countries. John Mylopoulos holds a Ph.D. degree from Princeton University and is currently professor of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. His research interests include knowledge representa- tion systems and their applications to Databases and Software En- gineering. He is senior fellow of the Canadian Institute for Ad- vanced Research, principal investigator of the Information Tech- nology Research Centre and co-editor of three volumes exploring AI and Databases research. TUTORIAL #2 (Thursday, 8:30 am - 12:00 am): PC-Based Database Management Systems Dr. David S. Reiner, Lotus Development Corporation This tutorial covers the spectrum of PC-based DBMS architec- tures, languages, tools, and related technical issues. It is ap- propriate for users, potential users, and developers of PC-based database management software. After a quick history of PC DBMSs, we explore the tradeoffs, lim- itations, and advantages of personal computer environments (IBM PCs, clones, and Macintoshes). We detail a variety of architec- tures, including standalone systems, front-ends to mainframe DBMSs, distributed DBMSs, and database servers. In the tools, we consider query languages, data dictionaries, forms-based ap- proaches, report writers, and utilities. We highlight current ap- proaches to application development, including 4GLs, application generators, programming languages, menu generators, spreadsheet add-ins, and CASE tools. The tutorial then considers the evolving query languages and in- terconnection standards, gives a framework for comparing PC DBMSs, and visits performance and other technical issues. Last, we profile the microcomputer DBMS industry, its products, and likely future directions. Dr. Reiner is a Consulting Engineer in the Advanced Product Divi- sion of Lotus Development Corporation, managing the Database Ad- vanced Development Group. He previously directed the Database Environments Section at Computer Corporation of America, where he was the chief architect for CCA's Database Design and Evaluation Workbench prototype. He is the former Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Database Engineering, and co-edited Query Processing in Database Systems, published by Springer-Verlag. Dr.Reiner has a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and has published numerous papers on database design, query optimiza- tion, and adaptive performance tuning. TUTORIAL #3 (Thursday, 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm): Database Technology for Software Engineering Environments Prof. Klaus R. Dittrich, FZI Karlsruhe (FRG) For any kind of computer-aided support of software engineering tasks, information management is a crucial issue. Powerful tools can help considerably to provide uniform, integrated and effi- cient solutions. However, today's database management systems that do such a job for business and administrative types of ap- plications fall short in coping with the more sophisticated re- quirements posed by software engineering environments and similar areas. On the other hand, a large bulk of research and develop- ment is currently going on worldwide to adjust database concepts and their implementations to the new needs. This tutorial intro- duces the potential of current and emerging database technology for computer-aided software engineering. After listening, you should be able to appreciate how software engineering environ- ments can make use of database concepts, what they can expect from present and future database management components, and why it makes sense to use database technology for integrated design systems in general.

Database Query Optimization Workshop Coordinator: Goetz Graefe, OGC This is a technical exchange meeting for researchers in the field of database query optimization. It will be broken into four dis- cussion sections, each led by a prominent researcher in the field: rule-based optimization, search techniques, selectivity estimation and cost functions, execution techniques. For more detail, see the December 1988 edition of SIGMOD Record. Partici- pation is limited to 40 people, to be invited on the basis of an extended abstract of work in progress or a description and jus- tification of the hardest and most important research topics in database query optimization (2-5 pages). Please submit contribu- tions by April 1, 1989, to Goetz Graefe, CS&E, Oregon Graduate Center, 19600 NW von Neumann Drive, Beaverton, Oregon, 97006- 1999. CSNet: graefe@cse.ogc.edu, (503) 690-1156. Hypertext and Databases Shortcourse Lecturers: Chuck Kacmar, Dr. John Leggett, and John Schnase, Texas A&M University The first half of the short course is an introduction to hyper- text and a survey of hypertext systems and applications. The second part covers the data management features of existing hy- pertext systems, and external database support for them. The course will cover the following: history and overview of hyper- text, basic concepts and definitions, an overview of existing hy- pertext systems, an application-oriented taxonomy of hypertext systems, problems with the hypertext model, a general architec- tural model for hypertext systems, data management models of ex- isting hypertext systems, selected database models and their re- lationship to hypertext, and major research and design issues faced by hypertext designers and users. Object-Oriented Design and Databases Shortcourse Lecturers: Norm Kerth, Elite Systems, Alan Purdy, Instantiations, and Rebecca Wirfs-Brock, Tektronix Automating complex systems requires a systematic approach to analysis, specification, design and construction. In databases this problem is compounded by the fact that one must accommodate several different applications with competing and conflicting re- quirements. This shortcourse will introduce emerging object- oriented design methodologies and outline their application to DBMS problems. The goal of an object-oriented methodology is to produce a clean design; a side-effect is to produce a specifica- tion of the set of common, independent objects (or relations) and the operations underlying the applications. A single design prob- lem will be used throughout the course for illustration. REGISTRATION - ODBF WORKSHOPS Pre-registration deadline: May 23, 1989.
