Call for Papers Advanced Database Symposium Sponsored by the SIG on Database Systems of the Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ) Science Center Building, Kyoto Research Park Kyoto, Japan, Dec.7-8, 1989 Recently, much attention has been focussed on the research and development of the next-generation database system technology. Especially, many of these activities are concerned with: (a)extending the DBMS functionalities for non-traditional applications, (b)providing rich modeling capability with DBMSs, (c)providing multimedia-data handling facilities with DBMSs, (d)integration of hypermedia and DBMS technologies, (e)integration of database systems, programming languages and knowledge base systems. The Advanced Database Symposium is held every year, and sponsored by the Special Interest Group on Database Systems of the Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ). This symposium is to bring together researchers, practitioners, and users concerned with issues in advanced database management. This year, the symposium will be held just after the 1st International Conference on Deductive and Object-Oriented Databases (DOOD89) (Dec.4-6, 1989), at the same place. We expect that this symposium will also offer an opportunity for the discussion and interchange of information concerned with advanced database systems for the international database people. Papers will be presented in English on December 7 and in Japanese on December 8, respectively. ------ Topics ------ Major topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Hypertext & Hypermedia Systems Advanced Database Models Multimedia Database Systems (semantic, object-oriented etc.) Visual Database Languages Database Design & Design Tools Visual Interfaces for Databases Database Programming Languages Databases for Documents & DTP CAD/CAM/CIM Database Systems Natural Language Dictionary DB Databases for Software CAD & CASE Full-text Database Systems Distributed DBMS Issues Database Machines ---------------- Paper Submission ---------------- Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality and overall quality.
