CALL FOR PAPERS Ninth ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD-SIGART Symposium on Principles of Database Systems (PODS) Nashville, Tennessee, April 2-4, 1990 The conference will cover new developments in both the theoretical and practical aspects of database and knowledge-base systems. Papers are solicited which describe original and novel research about the theory, design, specification, or implementation of database and knowledge-base systems. Some suggested, although not exclusive, topics of interest are: complex objects, concurrency control, database machines, data models, database programming languages and persistent programming, data structures, deductive databases, distributed systems, incomplete information, knowledge representation and nonmonotonic reasoning, object-oriented databases, performance evaluation, physical and logical design, query languages, query optimization, spatial and temporal data, and transac- tion management. You are invited to submit eleven (11) copies of a detailed abstract (not a complete paper) to the program chair: Yehoshua Sagiv - PODS Department of Computer Science Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305 sagiv@polya.stanford.edu (415) 723-1512 Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality, and overall quality. Each abstract should 1) contain enough information to enable the program committee to identify the main contributions of the work; 2) explain the importance of the work - its novelty and its practical or theoretical relevance to database and knowledge-base sys- tems; and 3) include comparisons with and references to relevant litera- ture. Abstracts should be no longer than ten double-spaced pages. Devi- ations from these guidelines may affect the program committee's evalua- tion of the paper. Program Committee Vassos Hadzilacos C.
