Please find two calls for special issues of
TAPOS.
Roberto Zicari
TAPOS Editor in Chief
--------
Objects, Databases, and the WWW
A special issue of
Theory and Practice of Object Systems (TAPOS),
John Wiley, New York.
As the Internet and the WWW become preferred media for
broadcasting, content dissemination, data access, personal
communications, distance education, electronic commerce, and
other as yet unforeseen applications, it becomes urgent to explore
the interactions between these new media and other well established
technologies for information access.
This special issue will focus on the interaction among object
technology, database systems, and the WWW. The following is a
non-exhaustive list of topics of interest:
-Object technology on the web
-Distributed objects
-Component frameworks and the web
-Accessing databases through the web
-Architectures and protocols
-Data warehousing
-User interfaces
-Transaction processing
-Standards
-Security
-The web as a database:
-Querying network structure
-Querying unstructured and semi-structured objects
-Web information retrieval
-Web data mining
-Developing web-centered applications:
-Methodologies
-Programming languages
-Development environments
-Tools
-Applications
-Electronic commerce
-Multimedia
-Digital Libraries
-Information Systems
-Data Visualization
We invite unpublished manuscripts presenting original research for
consideration for this issue, which is tentatively planned to appear
in April of 1998. Submissions will be peer-reviewed in the usual way.
Please send your submission by MAY 31, 1997 to the editor:

Special Issue of
Theory and Practice of Objects Systems (TAPOS)
John Wiley, New York
on
Object Oriented Database and Persistent Object Store Benchmarking
Call For Papers
Guest Editors: Ron Morrison, University of St Andrews
Eliot Moss, University of Massachusetts
Measurement of object-oriented database management systems (OODBMSs) and
persistent object stores is required in order to evaluate hypotheses about
their behaviour and to allow comparison of competing implementation stategies
and technologies. The impact to the user of effective benchmarking is a more
accurate understanding of their demands and requirements for object store
performance, with, one hopes, indication of implementations addressing these
requirements and providing the necessary performance.
For the engineer, benchmarking provides the raw data assessing object store
performance under various workloads, thereby allowing more precise
engineering and the evaluation of competing technologies and methods.
Object store benchmarking requires research into the performance of real
systems. For object store technology to become mature and effectively
employed it is important to develop the correct benchmarking techniques
to evaluate them. For this special issue of TAPOS we invite papers on all
aspects of benchmarking in OODBMS and persistent object stores. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
* Object store benchmarks and performance metrics
* Analytical and empirical modeling of object stores
* Performance based simulations of object stores
* Classifications of object store usage and application access patterns
* Object store performance requirements of application domains
* Tracing and profiling of object stores
* Determining the performance phase-changes in object stores
* Performance trade-offs in client server architectures
* Object store performance on multi-computers
The deadline for submission is 1st June 1997. Please send your submission
