Papers are solicited that describe original and novel research into the theory, design, or implementation of data- base systems. Some suggested but not exclusive topics of interest are: application of AI techniques to database systems, con- currency control, database and database scheme design, data models, data structures for physical database implementa- tion, dependency theory, distributed database systems, logic-based query languages and other applications of logic to database systems, office automation theory, performance evaluation of database systems, query language optimization and implementation, and security of database systems. You are invited to submit 9 copies of a detailed abstract (not a complete paper) to the program chairman: Jeffrey D. Ullman Dept. of Computer Science Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305 Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality, and overall quality. Each abstract should 1) contain enough information for the program committee to identify the main contribution of the work; 2) explain the importance of the work, its novelty, and its relevance to the theory and/or practice of database management; 3) include comparisons with and references to relevant litera- ture. Abstracts should be no longer than 10 typed double- spaced pages (12,000 bytes of source text). Deviations from these guidelines may affect the program committee's evalua- tion of the paper. Program Committee Jim Gray Richard Hull Frank Manola Stott Parker Avi Silberschatz Jeff Ullman Moshe Vardi Peter Weinberger Harry Wong The deadline for submission of abstracts is October 12, 1984. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by December 7, 1984. The accepted papers, typed on special forms or typeset camera-ready in the reduced-size model page format, will be due at the above address by January 11, 1985. All authors of accepted papers will be expected to sign copyright release forms. Proceedings will be distri- buted at the conference and will be available for subsequent purchase through ACM. The proceedings of this conference will not be widely disseminated. As such, publication of papers in this record will not, of itself, inhibit republi- cation in ACM's refereed publications.
