- CALL FOR PAPERS
-
- 1st International Workshop on
- Rules in Database Systems
-
- Edinburgh, Scotland, 30 August - 1 September 1993
-
-
-
- AIM OF THE WORKSHOP
- Rules have been a major focus of research interest in database systems for
- more than a decade, the initial focus on deductive rules and integrity
- constraints being augmented by recent research into active rules. The aim of
- this workshop is to bring together researchers working on both theoretical and
- practical aspects of rules in database systems, to examine the current state
- of the art, to explore relationships between different categories of rule
- system, and to identify complementary areas for further development.
-
- SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
- Papers are sought on topics including, but not restricted to:
- ~ Active rules - theoretical foundations, rule analysis, execution
- models, optimisation, realtime behaviour, production rules, tools,
- interfaces, application.
- ~ Deductive rules/integrity constraints - theoretical issues,
- implementation experience, optimisation, incomplete information,
- applications.
- ~ Integration of active + deductive rules.
-
- Submissions can either be full papers (around 5000 words) or short papers
- (around 2000 words). Authors should send 4 copies of papers to: Dr Norman
- Paton, Department of Computing and Electrical Engineering, Heriot-Watt
- University, Riccarton, Edinburgh EH14 4AS (email norm@cee.how.ac.uk;
- tel +44 31 451 3428). Springer-Verlag have provisionally agreed to publish
- the proceedings in their "Workshops in Computing" series.
