CALL FOR TUTORIALS
===================================================================

===================================================================
DOOD'97 TUTORIALS
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.
In addition to presentations and invited talks, DOOD'97 will
include a series of high-level tutorials which will be integrated
into the technical programme. Tutorials can be on typical DOOD
topics or on related subjects that are not (yet) widely
recognized in the DOOD community. Ideally, a DOOD tutorial does
not primarily give an introduction to a more or less settled
(sub-)field but make evident the challenges of recent application
and/or research problems the community is faced with.
A selection of possible topics is
* Autonomous Agents
* Constraints and Databases
* Data Warehousing / Data Mining / OLAP
* Decision Support
* Distributed Deductive and/or Object-Oriented Database Systems
* Maintenance of Materialized Derived Data
* Parallelism and Concurrency in the Context of Deductive and/or
Object-Oriented Database Systems
* Transaction Models
* Workflow Languages
All tutorials must be held in English. Tutorials should be
planned for a total duration of 2 hours.
PROPOSALS
Prospective lecturers are invited to submit abstracts describing
the intention of the proposed tutorial and including an outline
of their lecture and a list of relevant references by June 13,
1997. Submitted proposals should not exceed 3 pages incl.
references (11 pt or above) and must be written in English. To
speed up the process of reviewing, authors are requested to
submit by electronic mail. Conventional paper copies may be sent
to the tutorial chair only if an access to the appropriate
electronic devices is not available. In any case, submissions
should contain full return mail and e-mail addresses (if
applicable), phone number and FAX number (if applicable) of the
author. Authors submitting by electronic mail will receive an
acknowledgement (also by electronic mail) within 2-3 days.
It is intended to include abstracts of the accepted tutorials in the
conference proceedings which will be published in the Springer LNCS
series. Authors may want to format their proposals using the
Springer LNCS style, available by anonymous FTP from
ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/
Electronic submission:
The only format accepted for this (preferred) form of submission are
self-contained uuencoded, gzipped Postscript files, to be e-mailed to
the following address:
dood97_tutorials@fmi.uni-passau.de
It is the responsibility of the author to ensure that submissions can
be printed by standard printing software and will reach the tutorial
chair by the deadline.
Accepted tutorials:
Each submitted proposal will be reviewed. Authors will be notified
of acceptance by June 30, 1997. To be included in the workshop
proceedings, final versions of the abstracts of accepted tutorials
must not exceed 2 pages, include all relevant references, and be
formatted using LaTeX (Springer LNCS style). Both, hard copies and
electronic versions of the camera-ready tutorial abstracts must be
sent by September 15, 1997. Electronic versions should be sent as
both a source-file (together with all included Postscript files)
and a self-contained uuencoded, gzipped Postscript file.
Electronic versions of the accepted proposals will be stored
electronically (exclusively for the purpose of the conference)
and will be made available on the WWW. Source files will be
deleted after the proceedings have been compiled.
It is expected that the authors of accepted tutorials provide a
master copy of their transparencies and further course material
by October 31, 1997, again in electronic form. Guidelines for the
preparation of the course material will sent to the authors on
request.
