15-th International Conference on Very Large Databases Amsterdam, The Netherlands August 22-25, 1989 PRELIMINARY PROGRAM, VLDB 1989, THE CONFERENCE VLDB conferences are a forum for identifying and encouraging research, development and novel applications of database management systems and techniques. The fifteenth VLDB Conference will bring together researchers, developers and users of database management systems from 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 TUTORIALS: C.J. DATE (CODD &DATE) : The foreign key saga K.R. APT ( Netherlands) : Top down versus bottom up computing in deductive databases G.M. Nijssen (Australia) : An effective design method for relational databases S.B. Zdonik (Brown Univ. USA): Research Directions in Object-Oriented Databases M.L. Brodie (GTE Lab, USA) J. Mylopoulos (Univ. of Toronto): Integrating AI and Database Technologies 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.
