CALL FOR PAPERS
Third International Symposium on
Mathematical Fundamentals of Database and Knowledge Base Systems
MFDBS-91
Goehren, GDR, 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:
