CALL FOR PAPERS First International Conference on PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED INFORMATION SYSTEMS (PDIS) (Issues, Architectures, and Algorithms) December 4-6, 1991 Fontainebleau Hilton Resort, Miami Beach, Florida A New International Conference representing the merger of: International Workshop on Database Machines (IWDM) International Conference on Databases, Parallel Architectures, and Their Applications (PARBASE) International Symposium on Distributed and Parallel Database Systems (DPDS) Sponsored by: ACM SIGMOD ACM SIGARCH IEEE Computer Society Florida International University The scope of this conference covers any parallel or distributed system for symbolic manipulation, particularly for data and knowledge intensive applications. Specific aspects of such parallel or distributed data systems include, but are not limited to, the theory and the practice of: * Parallel Computers * Special Purpose Architectures * Storage System Architectures * Hardware Support for Data and Knowledge Management * Knowledge-Base Architectures * Parallel Algorithms and Their Complexity * Distributed Databases * Transaction Management * Heterogeneous, Federated, and Multidatabase Systems * Query Processing and Optimization * Management of Interdependent Data * Data Distribution and Replication * Distributed File Systems * Distributed and Cooperative Work * Performance Evaluation * Reliability * Distributed Debugging * Data Integration * Impact of Parallelism and Distribution on Data Models Instructions ============ Original papers on the above topics are invited. These should be no longer than 20 double-spaced pages or 5000 words. Please submit seven copies of each full paper to reach the following address by 10 May, 1991: H. V. Jagadish, 3C414A, AT&T Bell Labs 600 Mountain Ave. Murray Hill, NJ 07974 To promote cross-fertilization between works in progress, short synopses of substantial projects are also invited. These should be 4-5 double-spaced pages, or 1000-1500 words, and should contain enough information for the program committee to understand the scope of the problem being addressed and evaluate the novelty of the solution being proposed. The current status of the project should also be indicated. Time will be provided in the program to discuss innovative aspects of selected projects. Please submit seven copies of each project synopsis to reach the above address by 10 May, 1991. In addition, authors should send electronic mail to jag@research.att.com with the title of the manuscript, authors' names (without affiliations), and an abstract limited strictly to a length of 80 words. (The full manuscript may have as long an abstract as you wish: but please adhere strictly to the length limit in the electronic version). If you are unable to reach the above electronic address, send electronic mail to hector@princeton.edu. If you do not have access to electronic mail, send the above information with the manuscript on a separate sheet of paper using a 12-point type. In any event, this information should be sent to reach before May 10, 1991.
