CALL FOR PAPERS
for the
13th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DATA ENGINEERING
7 April - 11 April, 1997
University of Birmingham

SCOPE
-----
Data Engineering deals with the use of engineering disciplines in the
design, development and evaluation of information systems for
different computing platforms and architectures. The 13th Data
Engineering Conference will provide a forum for the sharing of
original research results and practical engineering experiences among
researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of data and
knowledge management. The purpose of the conference is to share
solutions to problems that face our information-oriented society and
to identify new challenges and directions for future research.
