Second International Workshop on Real-Time Databases
Advance Program and Call for Participation
September 18-19, 1997
Burlington, Vermont, USA
Objectives and Scope
--------------------
The International Workshop on Real-Time Databases is the primary forum for
the presentation and discussion of the issues involved in the design and
implementation of real-time information systems and databases. Following the
success of RTDB'96, the goal of this workshop will continue to be the
promotion of an active interaction among real-time database researchers and
practitioners in the following areas:
- Advances in the state-of-art in real-time database technology, including:
novel data and transaction models and standards, and novel protocols for
integrating scheduling, overload management, concurrency control, and
recovery.
- Research in disciplines related to real-time databases such as active
databases, temporal databases, and mobile databases.
- Research work dealing with real-time database issues in applications such
as multimedia, telecommunication networks, financial transaction systems,
real-time internet and intranet applications, among others.
- Reports describing on-going real-time database system building efforts,
including requirement specifications and design tools, integration with
active, dependable, and secure database features, and interactions with
operating systems and programming environments.
