[comp.theory] Call for papers: PODS 91

			CALL FOR PAPERS

		Tenth ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD-SIGART
	Symposium on Principles of Database Systems (PODS)
		Denver, Colorado, May 29-31, 1991


The conference will cover new developments in the fundamental
aspects of database and knowledge-base systems.  Original research 
papers in the theory, design, specification, or implementation of 
database and knowledge-base systems are solicited.  Some suggested, 
although not exclusive, topics of interest are: complex objects, 
concurrency control, data models, database programming languages 
and persistent programming, data structures, deductive databases,
distributed databases, incomplete information, knowledge 
representation, nonmonotonic reasoning, object-oriented databases, 
performance evaluation, physical and logical design, query 
languages, query optimization, spatial and temporal data, and 
transaction management.

The PODS conference will be held jointly with the ACM SIGMOD
International Conference on Management of Data.  Papers will be 
presented in parallel with the SIGMOD papers, but there will be 
separate PODS and SIGMOD Proceeedings.  The program committees 
for the two conferences are also separate and authors must decide 
to which conference they will submit. In general, very theoretical 
papers are more appropriate for PODS and very applied ones for 
SIGMOD.  The same paper (or different versions of the same paper) 
may NOT be submitted to PODS and SIGMOD simultaneously.

Serge Abiteboul			Jean-Louis Lassez
Amr El Abbadi			David Maier

mendel@db.toronto.edu
(416) 978-2952, FAX (416) 978-4765

Submissions should be no longer than the equivalent of ten pages of 
12-point type with 14-point vertical spacing (or ten pages of 
double-spaced typewritten text).  Deviations from these guidelines 
may affect the program committee's evaluation of the paper.  Whenever 
possible, the electronic mail address of the contact author should 
be given on the title page.

The deadline for submission of abstracts is DECEMBER 7, 1990. 
Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by February 20, 
1991. The accepted papers, typed on special forms, will be due at 
the above address by March 18, 1991.  All authors of accepted papers 
will be expected to sign copyright release forms, and one author of 
each accepted paper will be expected to present the paper at the 
conference. Proceedings will be distributed at the conference, and 
will be subsequently available for purchase through the ACM.
