Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and Co-located with
the 9th IEEE Tools with Artificial Intelligence Conference

November 3, 1997, Newport Beach, California, U.S.A.
===================================================

Call for Papers

The 1997 IEEE Knowledge and Data Engineering Exchange Workshop
(KDEX-97) will provide an international forum for researchers,
educators and practitioners to exchange and evaluate information and
experiences related to state-of-the-art issues and trends in the areas
of artificial intelligence and databases. The goal of this workshop
is to expedite technology transfer from researchers to practitioners,
to assess the impact of emerging technologies on current research
directions, and to identify emerging research opportunities.
Educators will present material and techniques for effectively
transferring state-of-the-art knowledge and data engineering
technologies to students and professionals. The workshop is currently
scheduled for an one-day duration, but depending on the final program
it might be extended to a second day.

Submissions can be in the form of survey papers, experience reports,
and educational material to facilitate technology transfer. Accepted
papers will be published in the workshop proceedings by the IEEE
Computer Society. A selected number of the accepted papers will
possibly be expanded and revised for publication in the IEEE
Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering (IEEE-TKDE) and the
International Journal of Artificial Intelligence Tools. Educational
material related to papers published in the IEEE-TKDE will be posted
on the IEEE-TKDE home page.

The theme of the workshop is "AI MEETS DATABASES". Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

- Computer supported cooperative processing and interoperable
systems
- Data sharing, data warehousing and meta-data management
- Distributed intelligent mediators and agents
- Distributed object management
- Dynamic knowledge
- Evaluation and measurement of knowledge and database systems
- High-performance issues (including architectures, knowledge
representation techniques, inference mechanisms, algorithms and
integration methods)
- Information structures and interaction
- Intelligent search, data mining and content-based retrieval
- Knowledge and data engineering systems
- Quality assurance for knowledge and data engineering systems
(correctness, reliability, security, survivability and
performance)
- Software re-engineering and intelligent software information
systems
- Spatio-temporal, active, mobile and multimedia data
- Emerging applications (biomedical systems, decision support,
geographical databases, Internet technologies and applications,
digital libraries, etc.)

All submissions should be limited to a maximum of 5,000 words. Six
hardcopies should be forwarded to the following address.
