Call for Papers and Participation
2ND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON
DATABASES IN PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
July 2-4, 1990
Dublin, Ireland
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society*, ACM SIGARCH*, the
British Computer Society* and the Irish Computer Society*.
THE SYMPOSIUM
Commercial availability of a number of general purpose
parallel computers has given impetus to the investigation of
issues in exploiting their capabilities for database
applications. DPDS 90 will provide a forum for database
researchers and practitioners to share results of research
into new programming paradigms, data models, and database
systems designed to harness parallelism in data-intensive
applications and parallel computers. The research into
homogeneous distributed databases has resulted in a number
of commercial distributed database systems. However, the
true potential of distributed database systems remains far
from being fully realized, and there are still major open
research issues, particularly related to the heterogeneous
distributed database systems. DPDS 90 will also provide an
opportunity to exchange and discuss research results related
to distributed database systems.
The symposium solicits original technical papers describing
recent and novel research or engineering developments in all
areas relevant to the theme of the symposium. Topics
include, but are not limited to,
- Parallelism in data-intensive applications.
- Parallel computer architectures and algorithms for
database applications.
- Issues in integrating database technology with the
logic, functional, and object-oriented paradigms with
focus on parallelism.
- Query processing, consistency, reliability, and
architectural aspects of distributed databases.
- Performance evaluation and measures.

The symposium will be held at the Trinity College, Dublin.
Trinity is one of the oldest universities in the British
Isles, founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I. The College is
in the very heart of Ireland's capital and is within walking
distance of shops, museums, theatres etc. Set in attractive
parkland and gardens, the College retains much of its
ancient character and seclusion, while its modern conference
facilities, allied to a long tradition of hospitality to
distinguished visitors make it an ideal location for the
symposium.
Please submit four copies of full papers limited to 25
double-spaced pages (5000 words) by October 16, 1989 to:
