CALL FOR PAPERS ##################################################### 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. ##################################################### Web page for this CFP: http://www.tkl.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/sac/cfp.html 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. Look for additional information in SIG newsletters or contact the individuals listed below. Also check the SAC WWW page: http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/ Special Track on Database Technology ==================================== A special track on Database Technology will be held in SAC '97. It will be a forum for engineers, researchers and practitioners to share technical ideas and experiences relating to implementation and application of database technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Advanced applications Distributed databases Object-oriented databases Multimedia databases Active databases Mobile databases WWW-based databases Textual databases Information discovery Cooperative databases Data Mining Data Warehouse OLAP Workflow Management DB issues on CSCW Ubiquitous Databases DB issues on Hyper Text Digital Library Video Server Video Authoring System Tertiary Storage System Disk Arrays 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 appropriate Track Chair. (For electronic submission consult the appropriate track chair.) * 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.
