academia and industry to share information and explore new ideas. In
addition, a parallel track of tutorials lead by world-known experts and
an exhibition by major vendors will provide ample opportunities to
improve your knowledge.
TOPICS
Logic, deductive and temporal databases
Dependency theory and integrity enforcement
bject-oriented databases and extensible databases
Engineering design and mlti-media databases
Query languages and query optimization
Storage management and database machines
Distributed databases
KEYNOTE SPEECH:
H GALLAIRE (ECRC) : From a laguna to open waters : Another view on
next generations of databases

THE VENUE
The 1989 VLDB Conference will be held in the RAI International Congress
Centre in Amsterdam. The RAI is ideally located for easy access by both
public and private transport. It has its own bus and tram station for
direct access to the city centre and its own train station with a direct
line to Schiphol International Airport which is only ten minutes away.
Amsterdam itself has much to offer visitors. Its combination of old
world charm and dynamic modern lifestyle is unique.
