OBJECT-ORIENTED DATABASE WORKSHOP: Implementation Aspects To be held in conjunction with the Object-oriented Programming Systems, Languages and Applications (OOPSLA-87) Conference October 5, 1987 Orlando, Florida Object-oriented database systems combine the streangths of object-oriented programming systems and data models, and database systems. This half-day workshop will be held on Monday morning, October 5, 1987. The goal of the workshop is to study the implementation aspects of object-oriented database systems. The workshop will focus on issues such as object fault management, storage management (buffering, prefetching, clustering, etc.), object persistence, object sharing, transactions on objects, concurrency control, recovery, and performance issues. The workshop panel will consist of: Timothy Andrewes (Ontologic), Umesh Dayal (Computer Corporation of America), Prof. David Maier (Oregon Graduate Center and Servio Logic), Patrick O'Brien (Digital Equipment Corporation), Prof. Lawrence Rowe (University of California at Berkeley), Prof. Alfred Spector (Carnegie-Mellon University), David Wells (Texas Instruments), and Prof. Stan Zdonik (Brown University). In the first 90 minutes, each panel member will present his position. This will be followed by questions from the workshop participants and discussions. To encourage vigorous interactions and exchange of ideas between the participants, the workshop will be limited to 50 qualified participants. If you are interested in attending the workshop, please submit three copies of a single page abstract to the workshop chairman describing your work related to the implementation issues of object-oriented database systems. The workshop participants will be selected based on the relevance and significance of their work described in the abstract. There will be no proceedings for the workshop. Abstracts should be submitted to the workshop chairman by August 1, 1987. Selected participants will be notified by September 1, 1987 Workshop Chairman: Dr. Satish M.
