			  CALL FOR PAPERS

   BNCOD13: The Thirteenth British National Conference On Databases

			University of Manchester
				UK
 
			12th-14th July 1995

The annual series of British National Conference On Databases has 
been a forum for database workers and a focus for database 
research since 1981. This conference attracts high quality papers 
from many countries and provides an exciting opportunity for 
academics and industrialists to meet, discuss ideas, debate 
current developments and look into the future. 

BNCOD13 will include scientific papers, panels, poster sessions and 
industrial presentations. Papers accepted at the conference will 
be published as a book, most likely in the Lecture Notes on Computer 
Science series of by Springer-Verlag. 

Theme
-----

The BNCOD13 Programme Committee welcomes papers on all 
subjects which fall within the database systems area. 
We are particularly interested in attracting papers in the 
following areas:

- User interfaces to database systems: user studies, 
schema and data visualisation, 2-D and 3-D graphical interfaces, 
query formulation, interface generators, data mining

- Databases with non-traditional data types: 
multimedia, image and video databases, GIS, temporal and spatial 
databases

- Applications: medical informatics, AI and knowledge-
based applications, scientific applications

- Analysis & Modelling: conceptual data modelling, object 
modelling, constraints

- Data Models: object-oriented databases, deductive 
databases, functional data models

- Operations: transactions, parallelism, performance, 
benchmarking, tertiary storage. mobile computing

- Interoperability: heterogeneous systems, distributed 
systems, legacy systems

Industrial papers

We are keen to bridge the gap between the research, and 
applications communities and database vendors. We therefore 
especially welcome short papers from industry describing novel 
applications and methods and new developments for an 
industrial session.

University of Manchester
------------------------

The University of Manchester was founded in 1851 as Owens 
College becoming the first, and today the largest, of England's 
great civic universities. The University forms a large part of the 
Manchester Education Precinct, which also includes UMIST, the 
Manchester Metropolitan University, the teaching hospitals, 
Manchester Business School and the Royal Northen College of 
Music, forming the biggest educational complex in Europe. 

The conference will be held in Dalton-Ellis Hall of Residence in 
the student village about 2 miles from the city centre and 1 mile 
from the university itself. Dalton-Ellis is peacefully set in its own 
attractive grounds and has excellent accommodation and 
conference facilities as well as tennis courts, a squash court and a 
fives court.

Manchester is one of the most exciting and surprising cities in the 
UK. The city has excellent cultural attractions ranging from 
theatres, galleries, museums, concert venues, both mainstream 
and fringe, to the best restaurants and night clubs around. 
Manchester is also only 20 minutes away from the beauty of the 
Peak District or the Cheshire countryside. 

Manchester is well served by motorways, direct rail services and 
a large international airport just 15 minutes from the University 
by car or by direct rail link.
