9th International Conference and Workshop on
Database and Expert Systems Applications
DEXA 98
http://www.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/dexa98
in cooperation with:
- Austrian Computer Society
- University of Vienna
- FAW - University of Linz, Austria
- DEXA Association
Date:=20
August 24-28, 1998=20
Location:=20
University of Vienna=20
Vienna, Austria
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 ju=
st
being developed applications. DEXA will offer the opportunity to extensiv=
ely
discuss requirements, problems, and solutions in the field. The workshop =
and
conference should inspire a fruitful dialogue between developers in
practice, users of database and expert systems, and scientists working in
the field.
