		X Brazilian Symposium on Database Systems
                                 SBBD'95

                    Recife - Pernambuco,  02 - 04 October 1995

                              CALL FOR PAPERS

The Brazilian Symposium on Database  Systems (SBBD) is an annual event
sponsored by the  Brazilian Computer Society.  It is  a major event in
computing in the country,  and aims at disseminating  both theoretical
and practical results  of research in  the field. The symposium is now
well-known  for the quality  of  the  technical  papers and the  tools
presented in previous years, as well as the invited talks delivered by
renowned international speakers.

The   X    SBBD   will be held      at  the   Federal  University   of
Pernambuco.  Programmed   activities include    technical    sessions,
tutorials, industrial panels and tools demonstrations.

The major topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

	- Database theory and algorithms
	- Human-computer interaction
	- DBMS implementation aspects
	- Object oriented databases
	- Active databases
	- Cooperative databases
	- Deductive databases
	- Extensible systems
	- Distributed databases
	- Spatial and temporal databases
	- Data modelling and database design techniques
	- Advanced applications

REFEREED PAPERS:
---------------

The symposium seeks for two types of papers: a) original contributions
to  the state-of-the-art (up to  15 pages) or b)   tutorials (up to 25
pages).   Papers  may be written in  English,  Portuguese  or Spanish.
Tutorials  must be  classified  by the  authors in  one  of the topics
above.

Authors must send four copies of papers (no E-mail or FAX submissions)
in A4 format (210 x  297 mm) with top  margin 35mm, bottom margin 20mm
and  side  margins 25  mm.   They should include  a  short (150 words)
abstract, list    of descriptive    keywords  and  complete    contact
information for the lead  author (institution, address, fax number and
email address).

Submitted  papers will  be  considered only   if they  have  not  been
published previously and  are not under consideration for  publication
elsewhere.   The criteria  for  evaluation are originality, relevance,
technical soundness and clarity of presentation.

The best  papers submitted will  be considered for publication  in the
special April  1996 issue  of the  Journal of  the Brazilian  Computer
Society, dedicated to Database Systems.


TOOLS FAIR PROPOSALS 
--------------------

Tool demonstration  proposals  should  suggest  the   demonstration of
tools, systems and   environments that represent  the  best of current
research work or commercially available products. The submissions must
include four  copies  of the  tool  description (up to  three pages of
text), as well as the hardware and software platforms required for the
demonstration.
