- - IEEE - DE4 CALL FOR PAPERS Fourth International Conference on Data Engineering February 2-4, 1988 Los Angeles, California, USA Sponsored by The Computer Society of the IEEE CONFERENCE TIMETABLE AND INFORMATION Papers due: June 15, 1987 Tutorial proposals due: June 15, 1987 Acceptance letters sent: September 15, 1987 Camera-ready copy due: November 15, 1987 Tutorials: February 1 and 5, 1988 Conference: February 2-4, 1988 For further information contact the General Chairperson: Benjamin W. Wah Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Illinois Urbana, IL 61801 (217) 333-3516 wah%uicsld@uiuc.arpa SCOPE Data engineering is concerned with the semantics and structuring of data in information system design, develop- ment, management, and use. It encompasses both traditional applications and issues, and emerging ones. The purpose of this conference is to provide a forum for the sharing of practical experiences and research advances from an engineering point of view among those interested in automated data and knowledge management. Our expectation is that this sharing will enable future information systems to be more efficient and effective, and future research to be more relevant and timely. We are particularly soliciting industrial contributions and participation. We know it is vital that there be a dialogue between practitioners and researchers. We look forward to reports of experiments, evaluations, and problems in information system design and implementation. Such reports will be processed, scheduled, and published in a distinguished track. TOPICS OF INTEREST We invited you to submit papers on topics including but not limited to these: Applications Architecture for database and knowledge systems Autonomous, distributed systems Data engineering tools Data management methodologies Data security and integrity Design of knowledge-based systems Distribution of data and knowledge Expert systems Logical and physical database design Performance evaluation Statistical databases PAPER SUBMISSIONS Each paper's length should be limited to 8 proceeding pages, which is about 5000 words, or 25 doubl-spaced typed pages. Four copies of completed papers should be mailed before June 15, 1987 to: John V. Carlis Computer Science Department University of Minnesota 207 Church Street SE Minneapolis, MN 55455 (612) 625-6092 carlis@umn-cs TUTORIALS The days before and after the conference will be devoted to tutorials. Proposals for tutorials on Data Engineering topics, especially advanced topics, are wellcome. Send pro- posals by June, 15 1987 to: Amit P. Sheth Honeywell Computer Sciences Center 1000 Boone Avenue North Golden Valley, MN 55427 (612) 541-6899 AWARDS, STUDENT PAPERS AND SUBSEQUENT PUBLICATION Awards will be given to the best paper and to the best student paper (denoted as such when submitted and authored solely by students). The latter will receive the K.S. Fu award, honoring one of the early supporters of the confer- ence. Up to three grants of $500 each to help defray travel costs of student authors. Outstanding papers will be con- sidered for publication in the IEEE Computer Society Publi- cations: Computer, Expert, Software, and transactions on Software Engineering. For more information contact the gen- eral chairman. COMMITTEE Steering Committee: C. V. Ramamoorthy, University of California, Berkeley P.
