CALL FOR PAPERS
Ninth ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD-SIGART Symposium on
Principles of Database Systems (PODS)
Nashville, Tennessee, April 2-4, 1990
The conference will cover new developments in both the theoretical and
practical aspects of database and knowledge-base systems. Papers are
solicited which describe original and novel research about the theory,
design, specification, or implementation of database and knowledge-base
systems.
Some suggested, although not exclusive, topics of interest are: complex
objects, concurrency control, database machines, data models, database
programming languages and persistent programming, data structures,
deductive databases, distributed systems, incomplete information,
knowledge representation and nonmonotonic reasoning, object-oriented
databases, performance evaluation, physical and logical design, query
languages, query optimization, spatial and temporal data, and transac-
tion management.
You are invited to submit eleven (11) copies of a detailed abstract (not
a complete paper) to the program chair:

Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality,
and overall quality. Each abstract should 1) contain enough information
to enable the program committee to identify the main contributions of
the work; 2) explain the importance of the work - its novelty and its
practical or theoretical relevance to database and knowledge-base sys-
tems; and 3) include comparisons with and references to relevant litera-
ture. Abstracts should be no longer than ten double-spaced pages. Devi-
ations from these guidelines may affect the program committee's evalua-
tion of the paper.
