September 14-17, 1997
The HPTS Workshop brings together leading builders and users of
Transaction Processing systems, tools, engines, and applications to
share their experience and vision. Although Transaction Processing
systems have been with us for over 25 years, we are now living through
a period of change and growth fueled by the Internet and continuing
amazing advances in the price, performance, availability,
functionality, and usability of computer hardware and software.
In addition, as personal and shirt pocket computers are increasingly
used to originate and participate in transactions, interesting new
challenges arise in terms of ubiquity, throughput, and distributed
architecture. HPTS '97 will offer a rare opportunity for the
participants to consider the past and design the future.
The format of the HPTS Workshop is discussion sessions based on
position papers and the presentation of a few full papers. The
emphasis is upon sharing experience, ideas, and vision. Each participant
must submit either a position paper or an abstract of a full paper and
may be asked to lead a discussion session.
A position paper may be a viewpoint on a controversial topic, a
summary of lessons learned, or a description of experience with a large
or unusual Transaction Processing System. An abstract of a full paper
may be a description of a new mechanism, architecture, product,
application, or of work-in-progress. Of special interest to the HPTS
community are submissions on Transaction Processing System topics not
commonly covered in other technical forums; including
workflow, messaging paradigms, object management, and Internet
transactions.
Attendance is limited to about 60 participants. Participants will
be invited based on their submissions. Abstracts and Position Papers
should be at most five pages. Submissions must be delivered
electronically, in PostScript format or a URL for a HTML document
(special dispensations are available on request).
The program committee will nominate some of the more interesting
accepted papers for inclusion in a special section on HPTS to appear
in the SIGMOD Record.
