Call for Papers
Eighth ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD-SIGART Symposium on
PRINCIPLES OF DATABASE SYSTEMS (PODS)
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, March 29-31, 1989
Extended Abstracts due October 10, 1988
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,
data structures, deductive databases, dependency theory, distributed
systems, incomplete information, knowledge representation and
reasoning, object-oriented databases, performance evaluation, physical
and logical design, query languages, query optimization, recursive
rules, spatial and temporal data, statistical databases, and
transaction management.
You are invited to submit eleven copies of a detailed abstract (not a
complete paper) to the program chairman:
Ashok K. Chandra - PODS
IBM T. J. Watson Research Center
P.O. Box 218
Yorktown Heights, NY 10598.
ashok@ibm.com (914) 945-1752.
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 systems; and 3) include comparisons with and
references to relevant literature. Abstracts should be no longer than
ten double-spaced pages. Deviations from these guidelines may affect
the program committee's evaluation of the paper.
