1997 ACM SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED COMPUTING (ACM SAC '97)
SPECIAL TRACK ON DATABASE TECHNOLOGY
February 28-March 2, 1997
the Hyatt St.Claire, San Jose, California, U. S. A.
SAC '97
Over the past ten years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has become a
primary forum for applied computer scientists and application developers from
around the world to interact and present their work. SAC '97 is sponsored by
the ACM Special Interest Groups SIGAda, SIGAPP, SIGBIO, SIGCUE, and
SIGICE.
Authors are invited to contribute original papers or abstracts for a poster
session in all areas of experimental computing and application development for
the technical sessions. Panel and workshop proposals which deal with the
symposium themes are encouraged. The special tracks form the heart of the
symposium. Papers and poster abstracts relating to the specific tracks should
be mailed to the respective track chairs.
In addition to the topics covered by the tracks listed below, papers and
posters are solicited in geographic information systems, image processing,
biomolecular computing, cognitive science, biology, chemistry, physics,
geosciences, electronic libraries, office automation and other areas of
applications development. Papers or posters not relating to a specific
track or spanning more than one track should be mailed to the Program Chair.

PAPERS
Original papers dealing with any aspect of computing applications will be
considered for presentation and publication in the SAC '97 Proceedings. This
includes three categories of submissions: 1) original and unpublished
research; 2) reports of innovative computing applications in the arts,
sciences, engineering, business, government, education and industry; and,
3) reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains. Each
category of submissions will be reviewed by peer groups appropriate to that
category. Accepted papers in all categories will be published in the
conference proceedings. Expanded versions of selected papers from all
categories will be considered for publication in the ACM/SIGAPP quarterly
Applied Computing Review or one of the other participating SIGs' publications.
Submission guidelines must be strictly followed:
- Mail six (6) copies of the paper to the DATABASE
TECHNOLOGY Track Chair as the address below.
- The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear
in the body of the
paper; self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate
blind review.
- The body of the paper should not exceed 4000 words
(about 15 pages, double- spaced).
- A separate cover sheet included with the submission
should show the title of
the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address
(including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which correspondence should be
sent.
- All submissions must be received by AUGUST 15, 1996.
