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

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:

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.
