The aim of DEXA 98 is to present both research contributions in the area of
data and expert systems and a large spectrum of already implemented or just
being developed applications. DEXA will offer the opportunity to extensively
discuss requirements, problems, and solutions in the field. The workshop
should inspire a fruitful dialogue between developers in practice, users of
database and expert systems, and scientists working in the field.

Call for Workshop Proposals
The DEXA 98 Program Committee invites researcher and practitioner to submit
proposals for the Workshop of DEXA.
The workshop will take place from August 26 to August 28. The workshops are
intended to provide opportunity to meet and discuss selected topics on
Database and Expert Systems. Members from all sections of the Database and
Expert Systems community are invited to submit workshop proposals for
review. Workshops will be typically half-day or full day in length, although
two-day proposals will be considered. Attendees at workshops must register
for the DEXA-conference.
Reqirements for Submission:
* Title of the workshop
* A brief technical description of the workshop, identifying specific
technical issues that will its focus.
* The names, postal addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of the
proposed workshop organising committee. This committee should consist of
at least three people knowledgeable in the technical issues to be addressed
by the workshop.
* The name of one member of the organising committee who is designated as
the primary contact.
* Estimated number of participants.
* Length of the Workshop.
Timetable:
All proposals should be submitted by electronic mail to
rwagner@faw.uni-linz.ac.at in plain ASCII text as soon as possible, but not
later than December 12, 1997. Organisers will be notified of the committee
decision two weeks after the submission but not later than January 7, 1998.
Each workshop organising committee will be responsible for producing a Call
for Participation in the workshop and select the participants. By May 15,
1998, they must provide a list of workshop participants with names address
and e-mail. The papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. The
camera ready papers must be sent directly to IEEE as postscriptfile at the
