3rd International Workshop on
FOUNDATIONS OF MODELS AND LANGUAGES FOR DATA AND OBJECTS
Aigen (Austria), September 23-27, 1991
The third International Workshop on Foundations of Models and Languages for
Data and Objects will be held at Aigen (Austria) in the week of September
23-27, 1991. This workshop series is intended to bring together
researchers working on the foundations of database systems. The workshop
timetable with (usually) one hour slots for long presentations and extensive
time left for discussions offers an opportunity for in-depth exchange of
ideas and experiences. The 1991 workshop is intended to focus around the
following main topics:
* Logical Foundations of Deductive Data and Object Bases:
Rule-Based Languages for Data and Object Models, Fixpoint and
Model-Oriented Semantics, Foundations for Non-Monotonic Concepts, Logical
Fundamentals of Object-Oriented Concepts.
* Dynamic Aspects of Object Bases:
Temporal Evolution of Objects, Transaction Semantics, Formal Framework for
Methods, Active Objects, Schema Evolution.
* Languages and Models for Data and Objects:
Foundations of Enhanced Data Models, Design Methods and Criteria for
Conceptual and Internal Schemata, Theoretical Foundation and Design of
Query and Transaction Languages for Data and Object Models, Implementation
and Optimization Methods for these Languages.
Besides the talks special topics may be discussed within working groups during
the workshop week.
Authors are invited to submit papers describing recent projects, or
proposals for working groups, with expected points to be discussed and
references to relevant literature.
Every participant will have to make a contribution which will be either a
regular talk, a short presentation, or the organization of a working group.
The papers will be published in a proceedings (as an Informatik-Bericht of
the TU Clausthal). The proceedings will be available at the workshop.
