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

Local Details
The conference will be held during March 7 -- 9, 1990 in Miami Beach,
Florida (Pre-conference tutorials will be offered on March 6.) Miami
Beach and its surrounding areas have numerous tourist attractions, and
offer plenty of sun, white-sand beaches, and much more to interest the
delegates and, their accompanying persons. The winter is Miami's
loveliest season with warm days and pleasant nights.
