CALL FOR PAPERS Third International Symposium on Mathematical Fundamentals of Database and Knowledge Base Systems MFDBS-91 Goehren (- Lebbin) Germany May 5 - 10, 1991 The conference will cover new developments in theoretical aspects of database and knowledge base systems and the design of databases and knowledge bases. Papers presenting original research in database and knowledge base theory and applications of database theory are sought. Some suggested, although not exclusive topics of interest are: - database and knowledge base systems; - logical, algebraic and combinatorial fundamentals of database theory and design of databases; - theories for knowledge bases; - object-oriented databases and object-oriented modelling; - fundamentals of query languages, transaction processing, distributed databases, concurrency control, access strategies, recovery, security, privacy, safety; - fundamentals for integrity constraints and consistency in databases and knowledge bases; - fundamentals of database technology; - models for database and knowledge base machines; - models for user interfaces; - design and implementation of non-standard databases and of knowledge bases. You are invited to submit five copies of a detailed abstract (more than four pages) or full draft paper (15 double-spaced typed pages maximum) by OCTOBER 25, 1990 to one of the Program Committee Chairs: Janos Demetrovics Bernhard Thalheim Computer and Automation Institute Dept. of Computer Science Hungarian Academy of Science Rostock University H-1502 Budapest, P.O.Box 63 A.-Einstein-Str. 21 Hungary DDR-2500 Rostock, GDR Program Committee: Serge Abiteboul (France), Georgio Ausiello (Italy), Paolo Atzeni (Italy), Catriel Beeri (Israel), Joachim Biskup (FR Germany), Stefano Ceri(Italy), Claude Delobel (France), Janos Demetrovics (Hungary), Ronald Fagin(USA), Hans-Detlef Gerhardt(E.Germany), Georg Gottlob (Austria), Stephen Hegner (USA), Gyula Katona (Hungary), Maria Orlowska (Australia), Jan Paredaens (Belgium), Antonin Riha (Czechoslovakia), J.
