SCOPE:
Data Engineering is concerned with the semantics and structuring of data
in information system design, development, management, and use; and with
computer system and architectural considerations that are relevant to
that concern. It encompasses both traditional and emerging issues and
applications. The purpose of this conference is to provide a forum for
the sharing of practical experiences and research advances from an
engineering point of view among those interested in automated data and
knowledge management. Our expectation is that this sharing will enable
future information systems to be more efficient and effective, and future
research to be more relevant and timely.
We are particularly soliciting industrial, business, and government
participation. We know it is vital that there be a dialogue between
practitioners and researchers. We look forward to reports of information
systems experience detailing experiments, evaluation, problems, and
opportunities associated with design, implementation, and operation. Such
reports will be given special consideration.
TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE:
AI and Knowledge Based Systems
Applications and Application Systems
Autonomous Distributed Systems
Communication Systems
Concurrency Control and Data Integrity
Data Access Control and Security
Database Management and Structures
Data Engineering Techniques and Tools
Data Services and Servers
Information System Architecture
Performance Evaluation
User Interfaces

Hi!
Is there anybody out there who can reccommend an effictive
4th GL programming environment working under DOS for PC, XT or AT?
If so, please let me know!
Ari.
