ICDT 97


Third Call for Papers

I C D T '97

6th International Conference on Database Theory

Delphi, Greece, January 8-10, 1997

In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society

ICDT '97 will take place in Delphi , Greece, on January 8-10, 1997. ICDT is a biannual international conference on theoretical aspects of databases and a forum for communicating research advances on the principles of database systems. Previous ICDT conferences were held in Rome (1986), Bruges (1988), Paris (1990), Berlin (1992), and Prague (1995). Since 1992, ICDT has been merged with the Symposium on Mathematical Fundamentals of Database Systems (MFDBS), another series of conferences on theoretical aspects of database systems that was initiated in Dresden (1987), and continued in Visegrad (1989) and Rostock (1991).

Topics:

ICDT aims to attract papers of high quality, describing original ideas and new results on theoretical aspects of all forms of databases. Major themes to be covered include, but are not limited to:

 
active database systems              complex objects
complexity and optimization          concurrency control and recovery 
data models and design theory        data structures & algorithms for databases
database programming languages       deductive databases  and logic 
dependencies and constraints         distributed and parallel databases 
fundamentals of security and privacy heterogeneous databases
incomplete information               multimedia information systems 
nonmonotonic reasoning               object-oriented databases 
query evaluation and optimization    query languages 
spatial and temporal data            transaction management
updates

Submissions:

Authors are invited to submit 8 copies of an extended abstract of about 5000 words (10 typed pages in no less than 11-point font) by June 13, 1996, to one of the program co-chairs:

The cover page of each paper should contain the address, e-mail, fax and phone numbers of the contacting author, as well as a short abstract. The results presented in the paper must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere, including the proceedings of other conferences or workshops. One author of each accepted paper will be expected to present the paper at the conference. The proceedings of ICDT'97 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, and will be available at the conference.

Best Student Paper Award: As judged by the program committee, an award will be given for the best paper authored solely by one or more students. The cover page of eligilble papers should indicate that all authors are full-time students at the time of submission. The program committee may decline to make the award.
