Purpose:
The objective of this symposium is to provide a forum for database
researchers and practitioners to increase their awareness of the impacts
on data models and database system architecture
of the parallel and distributed systems and new programming paradigms
designed for parallelism.
A number of general-purpose parallel computers
are now commercially available, and to better exploit their
capabilities,
a number of programming languages are currently being designed
based on the logic, functional, and/or object-oriented paradigm.
Further, research into homogeneous distributed databases has matured,
and resulted in a number of commercial distributed
database systems recently announced.
However, there are still major open research issues in heterogeneous
distributed databases; the impacts of the new programming paradigms on
data models and database system architecture are not well understood;
and considerable research remains to exploit the capabilities of
parallel computing systems for database applications.
We invite authors to submit original technical papers describing recent
and novel research or engineering developments in all areas relevant to
the theme of this symposium. Topics include, but are not limited to,
o Parallelism in data-intensive applications,
both traditional (such as Transaction Processing)
and non-traditional (such as Knowledge-Based)
o Parallel computer architectures for database applications
o Concurrent programming languages
o Database issues in integrating database technology
with the logic, functional, or object-oriented paradigm
o Performance, consistency, and architecture aspects of
distributed databases
