organized by GI-Arbeitskreis ``Grundlagen von Informationssystemen
(Foundations of Information Systems)''

This international workshop will be the seventh in a series focussing on
foundations of models and languages for data and objects. The main principle
of this workshop series is to offer the opportunity for in-depth exchange of
foundational ideas and experiences. In order to stimulate extensive discussions,
the time for the presentation of a long (short) paper is 60 (30) minutes
followed by about 30 (15) minutes of discussion. Furthermore, another
participant will be asked in advance to prepare a response to the work
presented.
In addition to the talks, there will be working groups which concentrate
on actual research topics and try to develop a common understanding of the
problems involved. Due to the special character of the workshop, every
participant is expected to stay for the complete duration of the workshop.
The 1998 workshop will be held in Ostfriesland, Germany. Typical, but
not exclusive topics of interest are (Foundations of \ldots):
distributed and federated databases
object oriented databases
deductive databases
temporal aspects
logics and semantics
database and information systems design
integrity and security
query languages and optimization
databases in world-wide nets
database dynamics
