International Database Engineering and Applications Symposium
MONTREAL, CANADA
AUGUST 25-27, 1997
Bringing together database technology users, providers and researchers
to address the problems of engineering modern database solutions to new
and demanding applications.
http://www.cs.concordia.ca/ideas/
The aim of this Symposium is to address the engineering and application
aspects of databases. This is in response to the increasing demands placed
on related theories and technologies resulting from the widening scope of
database solutions within all forms of enterprise. In particular, we wish
to focus on the engineering of database deployments which exploit theories
and technologies from complementary areas, such as information retrieval,
multi- and hyper-media, human interfaces to databases, HCI and
communications.
Accordingly, the Symposium will be structured to address current
issues (see topics listed below), relating to advanced applications,
interfaces to databases, database engineering, and advanced data
management theory and technology.
The Symposium will provide an international forum for technical
discussion of Database Engineering and Application issues faced by the
various communities, including technology providers, users and
researchers, in the areas of database and the complementary technologies
of IR, multi- and hyper-media, HCI, and communications. It will thus
foster closer interaction between these communities by providing an
excellent opportunity for academics and industrialists to meet, discuss
ideas, debate current developments and look forward to the future. We
therefore invite participants from government, computer and user
industries, and academia to share ideas and experiences.
We invite proposals for Poster papers and Demonstrations, to complement
the symposium's programme of selected refereed and invited papers.
Poster papers and Demonstrations provide an opportunity for those
involved with applied technological and theoretical aspects of Database
Engineering and Applications technologies to disseminate, and gain
early feedback on, work in progress. Proposals concerning practical
experiences and results, and prototype and demonstrator systems are
particularly welcome. We consider this conference to be a unique and
important forum for discussion of experiences in applying DBMSs to
real-life situations among practitioners and researchers.
In the evaluation of the proposals for Poster papers and Demonstrations
submitted, the program committee will consider novelty, technical
quality, the value of reported results to developers and users of
information systems, experiences relating to implementation and
application of database engineering, and the depth of challenges to
researchers. Poster papers and Demonstration synopses will be
published.
Papers are invited (electronic submission of PS file) on, but not restricted
to, the following topics:
Database engineering.
New and demanding applications.
User interfaces to databases.
Data management.
