SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE
Data Engineering deals with the modeling and structuring of data in the development and use of information systems, as well as with relevant aspects of computer systems and architecture. The Tenth Data Engineering Conference will provide a forum for the sharing of original research results and engineering experiences among researchers and practitioners interested in automated data and knowledge management. The purpose of the conference is to examine problems facing the developers of future information systems, the applicability of existing research solutions and the directions for new research.
TECHNICAL PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Research papers sessions on Disk Storage Management, Management of Distributed Data, Query Processing, Analytical Modeling, Temporal Databases, Multidatabase Systems, Knowledge and Rule Management, Indexing Techniques, Data Mining, Parallel Databases, and Heterogeneous Information Systems.

Local arrangements
The 10th ICDE will take place in Houston - the fourth largest city in USA. Local attractions range from the NASA Johnson Space Center, where you can visit the control center for space flights, to Houston Rodeo (the largest in the world!), which starts during the weekend following the Conference. San Antonio with its famous Riverwalk and New Orleans with its French Quarter are only a short drive away. The conference banquet will be a Texas Country and Western Evening at the Post Oak Ranch (the seating is limited so please reserve your tickets early - $38 each).

Synopsis: It is nearly self-evident that high speed, public networking will reach nearly every desktop and home during this decade. Although it is unclear exactly who will provide this service to the home (cable provider, RBOC, wireless provider), it is clear that a large number of services will be attached to this network (restaurant guides, bulletin boards, home shopping, entertainment options, dating services, vastly expanded yellow pages, directory services, etc.) Many of these are fundamentally data base applications; however, they have the following characteristics:
- must be "findable" (service location)
- must be runable by a totally untrained person
- "TV remote" may be main user input device
- network provider may dictate environment (client OS, client-server protocol)
- must be "pay for service"
Such an environment raises troubling questions about user interfaces,
security, privacy, standards, service discovery, information
retrieval, and support for multi-media. In addition, there are
difficult regulatory issues, such as guaranteed ability to place a
server on the network (open access), restrictions on content
(pornography servers), and legality of electronic transactions (the
dog steps on the remote and orders a truckload of diapers).
This panel explores this "brave new world", especially as it relates to unsolved research problems of interest to the DBMS community. To complement the newness of the topic material, the panel will utilize video, and parody in addition to the normal technical discussion.
