*****************************************************************
DOOD'97
Fifth International Conference on
Deductive and Object-Oriented Databases
December 8-12, 1997, Montreux/Switzerland
*****************************************************************
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The DOOD conferences provide an international forum for technical
discussion among researchers, developers, and users of database
systems from academia, business and industry. DOOD focuses on
research in theory and implementation of deductive and object-
oriented databases, the integration of object-orientation and of
rule-based deduction to provide a single powerful framework for
intelligent database systems, and advanced applications of such
systems. DOOD'97 will continue the direction established by the
four previous DOOD conferences held in 1989 in Kyoto/Japan, in
1991 in Munich/Germany, in 1993 in Phoenix/USA, and in 1995 in
Singapore. In 1997, DOOD will return to Europe and be hosted at
Montreux/Switzerland.
SUGGESTED TOPICS
The following is a partial list of topics that are of interest to
DOOD when treated in the context of deductive and object-oriented
databases.
* Active Databases
* Applications and Implemented Systems
* Advanced User Interfaces and Design Tools
* Constraint Handling
* Data Mining
* Data Warehousing and OLAP
* Distributed Systems and Interoperability
* Materialized Views
* Models and Languages
* Parallelism and Concurrency

* Spatial and Temporal Databases
* Theoretical Foundations
* Updates and Transactions
PAPERS
Authors are invited to submit original papers on topics including,
but not limited to those listed above to the Program Committee Co-
Chair of their region at the addresses given below by May 15, 1997.
Submitted papers are expected to be in English, not to exceed 5000
words, and to be in double-spaced 12 pt format. Electronic submiss-
ions are particularly encouraged in order to speed up the review
process. The only format accepted for this form of submission are
uuencoded, gzipped Postscript files, to be e-mailed to the resp. PC
chair. It is in the responsibility of an author to ensure that sub-
missions will be printable by standard printing software and reach
the PC Chairs in due time.
If authors don't have the means for electronic submission available,
five copies of a printed manuscript, double-spaced and in 12 pt for-
mat have to be sent by post. It is intended to publish proceedings
in time for distribution at the conference in the Springer LNCS se-
ries. Full PCs will be listed in the final Call for Papers soon.
