CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - FULL DETAILS, RIDE'97

(Seventh International Workshop on Research Issues in Data Engineering)

April 7-8, 1997, Birmingham, England

Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Data
Engineering

Topic:
High Performance Database Management for Large Scale Applications

INTRODUCTION

This is the seventh in a series of annual workshops held in connection
with the IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering which is
taking place at the same venue from 9th to 11th April 1997.
RIDE'97 will bring together researchers, developers and users working
on issues related to high performance database management for large
scale applications. The Internet and its underlying infrastructure is
restructuring the way in which people interact with service providers
such as - banks, retail stores, government agencies and professional
and social organisations. Such organisations now have the opportunity
to undertake electronic commerce, on-line shopping, support extensive
decision making capabilities using data mining and data warehousing
techniques as well as supporting mission critical operations. All
these activities place an ever increasing load upon the underlying
data management systems. The RIDE'97 workshop is devoted solely to
addressing these issues and contains a mixture of invited talks,
contributed papers panel sessions together with a session specifically
dedicated to work being funded in this area by the European Union.
