+ +
+ INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON TEMPORAL DATABASES +

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The International Workshop on Temporal Databases will bring together
leading researchers and developers in the field of temporal databases
to discuss the state-of-the-art in research, applications and standards
in the area, and to start setting future research directions. The
workshop comes at a time when recent, significant advances in this
field are poised to have a major impact on the commercial database
products of the near future, and is intended to serve as a forum for
disseminating research and experience in this rapidly advancing area.
Since the workshop will be held immediately following VLDB'95 in
Zurich, participants will be able to maximize their interchange of
experiences and knowledge among researchers and practitioners across
the entire field of database research and development.
SCOPE
-----
The primary focus of the workshop is on new and original research
results in the areas of theoretical foundations, design,
implementation, and applications of temporal databases, as well as
experience reports from application specialists and the commercial
community that describe lessons learned in the development, operation,
and maintenance of actual temporal database systems in practical and
innovative applications. The goal is to exchange research ideas and
results which will not only contribute to the academic arena, but will
also benefit the commercial community in the near future and encourage
a dialog between practitioners and researchers.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following as
they relate to temporal databases:
o Temporal Data Models, including o Distributed Temporal Databases
Valid-Time, Transaction-Time,
and Bitemporal Models o Query Optimization Techniques
o Semantics of Temporal Data o Integration with Existing
Commercial Products
o Temporal Query Languages o Critical Evaluations of
TSQL2/TSQL3 Proposals
o Spatio-Temporal Data Models
and Languages o Simulation and Modeling
o Temporally Active Data Models o Knowledge-Based Systems
o Rule Processing in Temporally o Decision Support
Active Databases
o Knowledge Discovery
o Temporal Database Design
o Novel Applications in Business,
o Real-time Databases Scientific, Medical, and Legal
Domains
o Concurrency Control and Recovery
o Requirements Analysis for
o Reasoning with Temporal Temporal Database Applications
Information
o Reports on Experience with
o Imprecise Temporal Information Real Applications
WORKSHOP FORMAT
---------------
The workshop will be organized in a manner designed to maximize the
opportunity for interaction and exchange among the participants. It
will be a combination of presentations with subsequent discussions, and
panels on recent developing and emerging trends. This format should
provide a forum for collaborations to develop among members of the
international community of temporal database researchers and
practitioners. Attendance will be limited.
SUBMISSION
----------
Authors are invited to submit original research contributions or
experience reports in English. Papers should be double-spaced and no
longer than 8,000 words (roughly twenty pages). Submissions will be
``double-blind'' reviewed, i.e., anonymously, and should therefore
include a separate title page with each author's full name,
affiliation, complete address where you can be reached the week of May
22, 1995, telephone number, and if available, fax number and internet
address. Submitters should indicate in a cover letter their
willingness to attend the workshop and present their paper.
Submitted papers will be refereed by at least three reviewers for
quality, correctness, originality and relevance. Accepted papers will
be presented at the Workshop and published in the proceedings, which
will be available at the Workshop.
Proposals for panels that examine emerging, innovative, or otherwise
provocative temporal database issues are encouraged as well. Panel
proposals should include a 1-2 page summary of the topic and the names
and affiliations of 3-4 panelists who have made a commitment to
participate. A mix of industry and academic panel members is
recommended.
Five copies of a technical paper or panel proposal should be submitted
by Monday March 20, 1995 to the Program Chair:
