New challenging problems are posed by the growing demand for large-scale, enterprise-wide, high- performance solutions. Innovative approaches and techniques are necessary to deal with the rapidly expanding expectations with regard to massive data volume processing, performance, availability, and solutions scalability. The scope of this Special Issue includes all aspects of parallelism and distribution in database systems. The Issue will focus on design, development and evaluation of parallel and distributed database systems for different computing platforms and system architectures. Original papers are solicited that describe research on various topics in parallel and distributed database systems including, but not limited to, the following areas: - Distributed database modeling and design techniques - Parallel and distributed object management - Interoperability in multidatabase systems - Parallel on-line transaction processing - Parallel and distributed query optimization - Parallel and distributed active databases - Parallel and distributed real-time databases - Multimedia and hypermedia databases - Databases and programming systems - Mobile computing and databases - Transactional workflow control - Parallel and distributed algorithms - Temporal databases - Data mining/Knowledge discovery - Use of distributed database technology in managing engineering, - biological, geographic, spatial, scientific, and statistical data - Scheduling and resource management TIME TABLE AND CONTACTS: Papers in 5 hard copies should be received by November 1, 1996 at one of the following addresses.
