                      CALL  FOR  PAPERS

                         PARBASE-90

A Two-Track International Conference on Databases, Parallel Architectures,
                   and their Applications

       Sponsored by Florida International University
    in cooperation with ACM (1), IEEE (1), and Euromicro

          Miami Beach, Florida, March 7 - 9, 1990

SCOPE:
   PARALLEL ARCHITECTURES        AND/OR        DATABASES

The conference will  provide  a  forum  for  exchange  of  information
between  scientists  and engineers in the fields of theory, design and
applications of databases and of parallel computer architectures.  The
program  committee will ensure high quality program in each of the two
areas of the conference.

Prospective contributors are invited to submit either regular or short
papers.   We  solicit  both  theoretical  and applied papers reporting
important developments or experience.   Proposals  for  tutorials  are
also welcome.

A keynote speech will be given by Prof. C.A.R. Hoare.   Pre-conference
tutorials  and  two  panel  sessions  on parallel architectures and on
databases will be offered. An  industrial  exhibition  will  be  held.
Social events and entertainment will be organized for the participants
and accompanying persons.

The topics include the following categories:

    parallel and distributed computation and  architectures  (category
    1)

    special purpose parallel systems (2)

    distributed systems (3), including fault tolerance  (category  3B)
    and design (3C)

    technology and  applications  of  supercomputers  (4)  and   fifth
    generation computers (4B)

    advanced  novel  technology  and   applications   (5),   including
    massively  parallel systems (5B)

    database machines (6)

    development of large databases (7),  including  semantic  modeling
    (7B) and database design (7C)

    other topics relevant to the goals of the conference (8)

Full-length Papers
The authors should submit five copies of the full text  of  the  paper
(2500-6000  words  including a short abstract) by August 4, 1989.  The
submission should address the significance of  the  contribution,  and
should  include comparisons with previous works.  In order to permit a
blind review, the authors' names, affiliations, mailing addresses  and
phone  numbers  should  only  appear  on  a cover sheet along with the
paper's title, five keywords, and one or more  of  the  aforementioned
categories which most closely match the paper's content.  On the first
page of the paper itself, the title should appear without the authors'
names.   Submissions not selected as regular papers will automatically
be considered as  proposals  for  shorter  contributions,  unless  the
authors request otherwise.

Shorter Contributions
The authors should submit two copies of  an  abstract  of  up  to  500
words.   The abstract should clearly state what is new and what is the
significance of the contribution.  The  abstract  should  contain  the
authors'  names,  affiliations,  mailing addresses, and phone numbers,
along with the paper's title and one of the aforementioned categories.
The  abstracts  (not full texts) must be received by October 27, 1989.
Short papers will be published in a 600-2000 word format.

Publications
All papers presented at  the  conference  will  be  published  in  the
Proceedings.  Special  kits for the preparation of accepted papers for
publication will be sent to the  authors.   Selected  papers  will  be
published  in the journal of Knowledge and Data Engineering and in the
Euromicro journal Microprogramming and Microprocessing.

Correspondence
Authors from Europe should submit short  and  regular  papers  to  Dr.
Neil  Wiseman,  Computer  Laboratory,  University  of  Cambridge,  New
Museums  Site,  Pembroke  Street,   Cambridge   CB2   3QG,   telephone
44(0223)334657,  E-mail: new1@uk.ac.cam.cl.  Tutorial proposals should
be mailed  to  Dr.  B.  Furht,  MODCOMP,  1650  West  McMab  Rd.,  Ft.
Lauderdale,   FL   33340,  telephone  1(305)974-1380.  All  the  other
submissions, and all enquiries should be made to PARBASE-90, School of
