Second International Workshop on
Database Programming Languages
June 4 - 7, 1989
on the Oregon coast
The second International Workshop on Database Programming Languages
will take place on the Oregon coast, from June 4 - 7, 1989. These
dates immediately follow the ACM SIGMOD Intl. Conf. on Management of
Data which is being held in Portland, Oregon, from May 31 to June 2.
The workshop will continue in the directions and style of its
predecessor, which was held in Roscoff, France, in September, 1987.
The meeting will be small and informal, providing forums for both
prepared presentations and informal panels and discussions.
Participation in the workshop is by invitation of the program
committee, and will be restricted primarily to authors of accepted
papers.
The workshop will focus on the development of new programming
languages and environments for databases and data-intensive
applications. Topics include, but are not limited to:
data models deductive capabilities
types and type inference compilation
inheritance versions
persistence implementation issues
object-oriented approaches applications
Authors are invited to submit 9 copies of a technical summary of a
prospective paper for the workshop by January 13, 1989 to either
Richard Hull or Ron Morrison
Computer Science Department Department of Computational Science
University of Southern California University of St. Andrews
Los Angeles, CA 90089-0782 St. Andrews KY16 8SX
USA Scotland
The focus of the workshop is on emerging approaches and technologies;
the committee will consider papers describing preliminary as well as
completed research. The technical summary should be brief and not
exceed 10 double-spaced pages. Authors will be notified of the
acceptance or rejection of their papers by March 10, 1989. Full
versions of the accepted papers must be received in camera ready form
by April 14, 1989.
Workshop proceedings will be available at the workshop. Also, revised
versions of the accepted papers will be published by Morgan-Kaufmann,
Inc.

FIRST JAPANESE KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION FOR KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEMS
WORKSHOP
Co-Sponsored by
Advanced Research Laboratory, Hitachi, Ltd.
Kansai Institute of Information System
In Cooperation with
American Association for Artificial Intelligence
Information Processing Society of Japan
Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence
Japan Society for Software Science and Technology
The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication
Engineers
Kyoto International Conference Hall (Kyoto)
October 25 - 26, 1990
Advanced Research Laboratory, Hitachi Ltd. (Tokyo)
October 29 - 31, 1990
A problem in the process of building knowledge-based systems is
acquiring and modeling appropriate problem-solving knowledge. The
objective of this workshop is to assemble theoreticians and
practitioners of AI who recognize the need for developing methods and
systems that assist the knowledge acquisition process.
The workshop will be in two parts: a two-day open meeting in Kyoto and
three-day closed workshop in Tokyo. To encourage vigorous interaction
and exchange of ideas the closed workshop will be kept small - about
40 participants, one author for each paper accepted. Some papers will
be presented at the open meeting and the remainder in the closed
workshop. There will be Tutorial and invited talk sessions in the open
workshop.
Papers are invited for consideration in all aspects of knowledge
acquisition for knowledge-based systems, including (but not restricted
to):
o Transfer/modeling of expertise - systems that obtain and model
knowledge from experts.
o Transfer/modeling of expertise - manual knowledge acquisition
methods and techniques.
o Apprenticeship, explanation-based, and other learning systems;
integration of such systems with other knowledge acquisitIon
techniques.
o Methods for capturing design knowledge and requirements
o Issues in cognition and expertise that affect the knowledge
acquisition process.
o Extracting and modeling of knowledge from text.
o Eliciting and modeling knowledge from multiple sources.
o Integration of knowledge acquisition techniques within a single
system; integration of knowledge acquisition systems with other
systems (hypermedia, database management systems, simulators,
spreadsheets...).
o Knowledge acquisition methodology and training.
o Validation of knowledge acquisition techniques; the role of
knowledge acquisition techniques in validating knowledge-based
systems.
Five copies of a draft paper (up to 20 pages) should be sent to
Hiroshi Motoda before February 28th, 1990. Acceptance notices will be
mailed by May 30th. Camera-ready copies should be returned before
August 15th. A preprint volume will be distributed at the workshop.
There will be travel-and-expense awards for the best paper submitted
by students from overseas countries to cover a part of their travel
expenses. Please note if the paper should be considered for this
award.
