- - - CALL FOR PAPERS FIRST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON TRANSACTION MACHINE ARCHITECTURE (TMA-I) Lake Arrowhead, California, September 25-28, 1988 Sponsored by Computer Society of the IEEE: TCMM, TCDE, TCVLSI In Cooperation with ACM: SIGMOD Supported by: Amdahl Corporation & IBM Almaden Research Center WORKSHOP EMPHASIS: * Transaction Processing Architecture * Experimental Analysis of Architectural Design Choices * Stable Storage Techniques * Main Memory Database Architectures * High Performance Secondary Storage * High Performance Communication * Architectural Support for Recovery and Fault Tolerance * Architectural Support for Online Reconfiguration (Continuous Operation) * Front-End vs Back-End Architectures * Transaction Machine vs Database Machine Architectures WORKSHOP BACKGROUND: Recent technological developments have made possible high-speed transaction processing systems (> 1000 transaction per second). This workshop is intended to bring together computer system architects, database system architects, transaction system architects, designers, practitioners, and the research community to provide a forum for in-depth discussions of architectures and architectural support for achieving high-performance transaction processing machines. Participation is by invitation only. Each participant is expected to actively contribute to the workshop by submitting either a position paper, an extended abstract, or a full paper (approximately 5000 words). Full papers accepted for presentation will be published in book form.
