<There is a significant research component dealing with Database
technologies and Data Mining and hence this anouncement is likely of
interest to this community.>

A workshop on R&D Opportunities in Federal Information Services is
being sponsored by the Applications Council of the National Science and
Technology Council's Committee on Computing, Information, and
Communications and is being coordinated by the Information Sciences
Institute of the University of Southern California. Funding for
conducting the workshop has been provided by the National Science
Foundation's Directorate for Computer and Information Science and
Engineering, the President's Government Information Technology Services
Board, and National Institutes of Health's National Center for Research
Resources. The workshop is scheduled for May 13-15, 1997 to be held at
a location to be determined in or near Washington, D.C.

As a result of the first meeting (December 3-4) of the organizing
committee for the workshop, a Call for White Papers has been developed.
The Call and additional information on the workshop process can be
found at URL http://www.isi.edu/nsf/ . This URL will be kept live and
dynamic as more information is available, and will serve as the entry
point for on line submission of White Papers beginning in mid-January
1997. Papers are due no later than March 3, 1997.

All sectors and interested parties are encouraged to submit Papers for
review. Please forward this message to any interested individuals or
organizations.

Thank you.
