                	 CALL FOR PAPERS

   2ND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON APPLICATIONS OF DATABASES

                    	 ADB-95

December 13-15, 1995, Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, California, USA

CONFERENCE FOCUS

The conference has been motivated by recent advances in database application
development technologies and by the need for DBMS to meet the challenges of
new application areas. In contrast to traditional database conferences,
ADB-95 focuses on the technical issues surrounding the use of DBMS for
developing solutions. This conference aims to provide a forum for DBMS users
database software vendors, and academic researchers to engage in highly
technical discussions of the research issues in building DBMS applications.

There will be three parallel tracks: Research Papers, Advanced Technologies,
and Tutorials and Panels. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:


TOPICS OF INTEREST

* Data and application reengineering
* Information modeling and database design
* Database development tools
* Database application builders
* Visual application development environments
* Knowledge mining and browsing technologies
* Integrated and interoperable database applications
* Multidatabase and distributed database applications
* Telecommunication database applications
* Medical database applications  
* Multimedia database applications
* Engineering database applications
* Scientific Applications


RESEARCH PAPER TRACK

The purpose of the Research Paper Track is to provide an in depth technical
presentation of the most recent significant findings in the Topics of
Interest. Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research
work in one or more of the Topics of Interest. Research papers must not
exceed 20 double spaced pages and must be submitted to the Research Paper
Track Chair. Electronic copies of the abstracts are due via e-mail on May 22,
1995. Abstracts will be used for early identification of interested reviewers
in order to speed up the review process. Four copies of the full manuscript
are due on June 5, 1995. Notification of acceptance is due on August 1, 1995.
Final camera ready copies are due on September 1, 1995.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY TRACK

The purpose of the Advanced Technology Track is to foster greater
communications and collaborations among users, developers, and researchers.
Developers are invited to submit extended abstracts describing their latest
product innovations, advanced users facing problems in applying the current
database and application development technologies are invited to submit
extended abstracts describing their problems that need to be resolved, and
academic researchers are invited to submit extended abstracts describing
their research activities. This track will provide opportunities for
developers, users, and researchers to communicate and collaborate in
advancing database application technologies. An extended abstract must not
exceed 5 double spaced pages and must be submitted to the Advanced Technology
Track Chair. Four copies of the extended abstract are due on June 19, 1995.
Notification of acceptance is due on August 1, 1995. Final camera ready
copies are due on September 1, 1995.

TUTORIAL AND PANEL TRACK

Proposals are invited for half-day tutorials on the Topics of Interest.
A tutorial proposal must include a description of the tutorial, a table of
contents, and a short biography of the instructor. Proposals are also invited
for panel discussions on the controversial aspects of the Topics of Interest.
A panel proposal must include a short description of the subject of the panel,
the reasons for why a panel discussion of the subject will be useful, a list
of questions that will be posed to the panelists in advance, and a list of
potential panelists. Tutorial and Panel proposals must be submitted to the
Tutorial and Panel Track Chair. Four copies of the tutorial and panel
proposals are due on June 19, 1995. Notification of acceptance is due on
August 1, 1995. Final camera ready copies of the position statements and
tutorial notes are due on September 1, 1995.

CONFERENCE LOCATION

The beautiful campus of Santa Clara University, the oldest higher
education institute in California, USA, is situated in the heart of Silicon
Valley, one of the world's centers of high technology industry and
professional and scientific activities. The cultural and entertainment
centers of San Francisco, Berkeley, and Marin County are within one hours
travel by train and car. In the opposite direction, the Pacific Beaches
of Santa Cruz are about 30 minutes away; the world famous Monterey Peninsula
and Carmel are 90 minutes away. The university is accessible by major
airlines via San Jose International Airport, which is three miles from campus,
and via San Francisco and Oakland airports.
