CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

7th IFIP 2.6 WORKING CONFERENCE ON DATABASE SEMANTICS (DS-7)

SEARCHING FOR SEMANTICS: DATA MINING, REVERSE ENGINEERING, ETC.

October 7-10, 1997

Leysin, Switzerland

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The IFIP 2.6 Working Group serie has established a tradition
of highly appreciated Data Semantics (DS) conferences, where quality
is preferred over quantity. DS-7, the seventh in the series,
follows the succesful format of the previous conferences : it will be a
four-day live-in working conference with limited attendance and
extensive time for presentations and discussions.

The topics for the 1997 DS Conference focus on those major problems that
enterprises are currently facing: the reverse engineering of old legacy
systems and applications, and the discovery of non-explicit knowledge
hidden in existing data stores. Both issues need to be dealt with
whenever database designers and application managers are committed to
reusing of existing data, for performance and economic reasons.

Another major challenge for database/application designers is to be
able to complement enterprise data with data from external sources,
where the corresponding semantics is rarely fully available. Accessing
data via the Web is just an example of input from external autonomous
repositories.

More hot topics are addressed in the contributions listed below.
Demonstrations are also planned to illustrate some of the latest
products in this domain.

We are pleased to host an invited talk by one of the leading figures in
data mining, Prof. JIAWEI HAN, from the Simon Fraser University,
British Columbia, Canada.

An invited talk will also be given by Prof. LETIZIA TANCA, from the
Politecnico di Milano and University of Verona, Italy.

A tutorial on the contribution of natural language processing techniques
for text mining will be given by Dr. MARTIN RAJMAN, of the Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology.

The conference will take place at the **** Leysin Classic Hotel.
Leysin is an extremely pleasant location in the Swiss Alps at an
altitude of app. 1000 meters. Leysin offers magnificent views over
the Alps and the Lake of Geneva.

In October the weather is usually fine with many hiking opportunities to
enjoy from the scenery. Swimming pool and tennis courts are next door to
the hotel, or you might try your luck climbing or flying with a paraglide=
r
... Skiing on a glacier is possible in nearby Les Diablerets.

Well-known art exhibitions are held at the Fondation Gianadda, in
Martigny, close to Leysin, which also has permanent collections of
roman antiques, vintage cars and modern sculpture.

Montreux, Lausanne and the world-famous Chateau de Chillon are a short
driving distance from Leysin. Leysin is two hours by train from Geneva
Airport(one hour from Lausanne) or 140 km nearly all freway. It is also
reachable within a couple of hours by train from the Zurich airport.

A large space within the conference hotel has been reserved for demos.
For companies willing to realize a demonstration of commercial products
on databases, data mining, reverse engineering or data warehouses
we have worked out a scheme or progressive financial involvement
(equivalent to 2, 3 or 4 normal registrations) so that everybody can
hopefully adjust according to what they are looking for.
If needed, we can provide standard computer facilities (PC, Sun
workstation or Macintosh).

The different possibilities are as follows.

* demo registration fee: 1020 SF
including
- same as one normal registration fee, plus
- space for a demo in the demo room (table, chairs, ...)
- announcement in the demo program

* supported demo fee: 1580 SF
including
- same as demo registration fee, plus
- provision of standard computer equipement (PC, Sun workstation or
Macintosh)

* sponsor fee : 2040 SF
including
- same as supported demo fee, plus
- mention of sponsorship in all conference documents
