*******************************************************************************
We have negotiated with a publisher, World Scientific, an
international publisher whose offices are located at New
Jersey, London, Singapore and Hong Kong , to publish the proceedings.
The publisher has agreed to publish the proceedings provided we can
place an order for 50 copies to be distributed to the conference
participants. Hence we need to send the order along with the camera
ready copy of the proceedings. The publisher has
agreed to sell the proceedings at half of the cover price to
participants, provided we place a bulk order. The quoted half price
of the proceedings is A$30.00.
Hence we request you to place your order
(as well for others who may like to have a copy) and pay
the proceedings cost when you attend the conference.
------------------------------
If you are NOT attending the conference, but would like to have a copy,
send the money by cheque payable to Dr B. Srinivasan, before Feb 6, 1990.
If you need a receipt, let us know so that we can send one.
Also we would appreciate if you can inform us who else would be
interested in buying a copy of the proceedings. We am trying to
generate good will with the publisher so that future database
conference proceedings can also be published.
The expected date of the availability of the proceedings is APRIL 15, 1990.
