CALL FOR PAPERS

          	             INFORMATICA

 	     	           Special Issue on
		Parallel and Distributed Database Systems

Parallel and distributed database technology is a core of many
mission-critical information systems. 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
