[1] SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM

This is the second ISIIS international symposium, and follows the
initial	 event	 of  ISIIS'87.	 The  symposium	 will	focus  on
interoperability  technology  for information  processing.  There
will be	 technical sessions for presentation  of selected papers,
including  reports on  the  national  R&D program  "Interoperable
Database Systems."  On the symposium site,  OSI-based information
network systems	 will also  be demonstrated at	the Interoperable
Networking Event (INE'88).

The goal of the symposium is  to explore both the theoretical and
