Seventh International Workshop on
Foundations of Models and Languages for Data and Objects
Distributed Databases
Minsen, Germany, September 15 -- 19, 1997
organized by GI-Arbeitskreis ``Grundlagen von Informationssystemen (Foundations
of Information Systems)'', supported by the European Association for Theoretical
Computer Science (EATCS)
This international workshop will be the seventh in a series focussing on
foundations of models and languages for data and objects. The main principle of
this workshop series is to concentrate on one selected topic and to offer the
opportunity for in-depth exchange of ideas and experiences. In order to
stimulate extensive discussions, the time for the presentation of a long (short)
paper is 60 (30) minutes followed by about 30 (15) minutes of discussion.
Furthermore, another participant will be asked in advance to prepare a response
to the work presented. In addition to the talks, there will be working groups
which concentrate on actual research topics and try to develop a common
understanding of the problems involved. Due to the special character of the
workshop, every participant is expected to stay for the complete duration of
the workshop.
The 1997 workshop will be held in Minsen, Germany, and focusses on Distributed
Databases. Typical, but not exclusive topics of interest are:
models and languages,
fragmentation and allocation algorithms,
transaction management,
integrity maintenance,
query optimization,
optimized data and storage structures,
replication,
incomplete and uncertain information
in distributed and federated databases
Submission of Papers.
Authors are cordially invited to submit four copies of their contribution
(extended abstract) to the program committee chair by April 16, 1997. Papers
