CALL FOR PAPERS
__________________________________________________
Symposium on the Design and Implementation
of Large Spatial Databases
__________________________________________________
July 17-18, 1989
Santa Barbara, California
The Symposium on the Design and Implementation of Large Spa-
tial Databases will be held at the Santa Barbara Sheraton,
which is situated on the Pacific seashore. The symposium is
sponsored by NASA , EPA, USGS, and by the NSF National
Center for Geographic Information and Analysis at the
University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). Cooperation
with ACM and the IEEE Computer Society has been requested.
The symposium is intended as a forum for leading researchers
and practitioners in the area of spatial data management. A
major focus will be on issues that arise in handling very
large spatial databases. We invite submissions of papers
presenting original research on spatial data management.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
Spatial Data Models
Representation of Spatial Objects
Mappings between Data Representations
Spatial Expert Systems
Spatial Reasoning
Spatial Languages
Spatial Access Methods
Embedding of Spatial Structures into Extensible Database Systems
Query Optimization and Transaction Management for Large Spatial Databases
Representation of Sparse Data Sets
Data Compression
Automated Archiving
Optical Disks
Hardware Architectures
Contributors are invited to send three copies of their
manuscript to the Program Chairperson or to the General
Chairperson of the Symposium. Manuscripts should arrive
until April 1, 1989. Notification of acceptance will be
mailed by May 10, 1989. Abstracts of accepted papers will be
available at the symposium, and official proceedings will be
published later by Springer-Verlag.
