We would like to invite you to the 1st International Conference on Applications of Databases, held June 21-23, 1994, in Sweden. The conference aims at developing a synergy between database researchers, developers, and application designers. It is intended as a forum to explore innovative applications of databases, and innovative database services for specific applications. New applications are the driving force for the evolution of database technology. Applicability is the ultimate test for the numerous ideas debated at database technology conferences.

The conference is organized in cooperation with and sponsored by major professional organizations. It features twenty-eight regular papers selected from one hundred submissions, three distinguished invited speakers, three tutorials, and three panels. Every paper session ends with a ten minute overall discussion of the presented material.

The conference will also provide facilities for Birds-of-a-feather workshops on unscheduled topics. These workshops will be instigated by participants who want to get together with others interested in a specific issue.

The conference will be located in a magnificent former monastery originally built as a Royal palace in 1258. It is the oldest secular building in Sweden located in the beautiful medieval town of Vadstena, with cobbled streets, old houses, an ancient Abbey, and another magnificent 16th century fortified Royal castle.

The social program of ADB-94 includes an ethnic Swedish midsummer dinner and a banquet in the `Kings Hall' with medieval entertainment followed by a midnight concert in the Abbey. The conference is followed by a reception at Linkoping University hosted by the Computer Science Department, the largest CS Dept. in Sweden.

June 21st is the longest day of the year, when there is some light all night in Vadstena and midnight sun in northern Sweden. June/July is about the best time for vacations in Scandinavia.

Welcome to ADB-94!

TUTORIAL PROGRAMME Tutorial 1: June 21st 1020-1230, 1400-1540

            Spatial Databases
            Hanan Samet, University of Maryland, USA

The ability to deal with spatial data is becoming increasingly important in applications in geographic information systems, computer vision, computer graphics, computer vision, image processing, solid modeling, robotics, and cartography. This manifests itself in the need to incorporate this data in existing database management systems.

This incorporation must result in the coexistence of the spatial data with the non-spatial data. The result is termed a spatial database. Spatial databases must deal with points, lines, rectangles, regions, surfaces, volumes, and other geometric data, as well as time and non-geometric data (known as attribute data). The implementation of spatial databases involves many issues including a choice among a number of different representations for the underlying data, as well as the types of queries to be supported,

In this tutorial we review some of the most recent representations and the type of operations that they are designed to support. We also discuss methods of integrating spatial and non-spatial data in conventional database management systems, as well as examine some existing spatial database systems.

BIOGRAPHY Hanan Samet is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is a member of the Computer Vision Laboratory of the Center for Automation Research and also has an appointment in the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies. At the Computer Vision Laboratory he leads a number of research projects on the use of hierarchical data structures for geographic information systems. He has written over 100 technical publications on the subjects of hierarchical spatial data structures, geographic information systems, image processing, computer graphics, programming languages, artificial intelligence, robotics, and data base management systems. He is considered as an authority on the use and design of hierarchical spatial data structures such as the quadtree for geographic information systems, image processing, and computer graphics. He is on the Editorial Board of "Computer Vision, Graphics, and Image Processing: Image Understanding", "Journal of Visual Languages", and "Pattern Recognition". He is the author of the two books "The Design and Analysis of Spatial Data Structures" and "Applications of Spatial Data Structures: Computer Graphics, Image Processing and GIS" published by Addison-Wesley, Reading, MA, 1990. He is Fellow of the IEEE.

Tutorial 2: June 22nd, 1020-1230, 1400-1540

            Database Management for Real-Time Applications
            Alex Buchmann
            Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany

A growing number of applications require time-constrained access to data. For these applications, the timeliness of the data is part of the correctness criteria. Timing constraints can be derived from the temporal consistency requirements of the application and must be enforced by the DBMS. Examples of applications that require the processing of varying quantities of data with timing constraints range from chemical and power plant control, to network management, air traffic control, and multimedia systems.

The tutorial covers motivation and applications requiring real-time data management, and introduces the basic notions. We discuss the scheduling problem as one of the core problems in real-time systems, introduce a reference model and discuss the fundamental issues and alternatives in scheduling a variety of resources, ranging from CPU to I/O and data. We analyze the issues involved in real-time transaction processing and the trade-offs between flexibility and predictability. We address the issues of overload management as one of the critical components of real-time systems and propose alternatives for flexible overload management based on contingency plans. The tutorial concludes with an analysis of required operating system support and a discussion of what capability is actually offered by today's real-time operating systems. We conclude with a perspective of what is required to re-engineer a DBMS to meet the real-time requirements of modern applications.

BIOGRAPHY Alejandro Buchmann is Professor of Computer Science at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. His current research interests are active, real-time and heterogeneous object-oriented systems. His group is currently developing the REACT (REal-time ACTive database) system which is part of the larger REACH project (REal-time ACtive Heterogeneous systems). Prior to joining TH Darmstadt he was Associate Professor at the National University in Mexico, Senior Computer Scientist at CCA/XAIT where he was involved in the HiPAC project, and Principal Member of Technical Staff at GTE Laboratories, Incorporated, where he participated in the DOM Distributed Object Management project. He received his Ph.D. in 1980 from the University of Texas, Austin.

Tutorial 3: June 23rd, 1020-1230, 1400-1540

            The Evolution of User Interface Tools 
            for Database Applications
            Moshe Zloof, Hewlett-Packard Labs, USA

The recent advances in hardware and enabling software technologies are having profound effect on the development of UI tools for building database applications.

In this tutorial, we will first give a historical account of the evolution of DB UI tools since the early seventies in terms of database models, database languages, database development tools (Visual 4GL), and end user graphical tools. As the users of SQL were primarily application developers, the tools were built directed to this clientele. Therefore, the design factors for building programmers' tools were focused on increasing their productivity.

Advent of PC database management systems, saw the metamorphism of this clientele to less sophisticated users. These non-programmers (i.e., power users) who wish to build their applications required different kinds of tools and the PC database industry lead this thrust. We address the design factors in both these types of tools and contrast them.

In doing the above, we will review and compare some of the current environments in terms of their power, functionality, levels of abstraction and ease of use. This will include, but is not limited to, such products or research prototypes as: Paradox, Access, 4GL Windows, PowerSoft, Prograph, ICBE (being prototyped at HP Labs).

Finally, we will extrapolate on how this UI technology will be evolving in the future specifically into the areas of entertainment and mobile personal appliances.

BIOGRAPHY Dr. Moshe Zloof, Principal Architect at Hewlett-Packard laboratories, is considered a pioneer researcher in the area of data base languages and user interfaces. Back in the 1970's, in a complete departure from the traditional approach and while working at IBM, Dr. Zloof created QUERY-BY-EXAMPLE (QBE) and OFFICE-BY-EXAMPLE (OBE), the first visual programming languages which not only set the stage for considerable research agenda, but also have been incorporated in many successful products such as PARADOX, DBASE IV, ACCESS and many more.

At Hewlett-Packard, Dr. Zloof is currently involved in developing the IC-BY-EXAMPLE language - a new paradigm to enable non-programmer professionals to construct their own applications.

Dr. Zloof has published numerous papers and articles, has chaired and served as invited and keynote speaker at many national and international conferences and universities. He has also received several awards including the most prestigious IBM Corporate Award. He has served as an adjunct professor at the Courant Institute of NYU and Columbia University.

LOCATION The town of Vadstena (3000 inhabitants) is located about 250 km south west of Stockholm, bordering lake Vattern, the 2nd largest lake in Sweden. Vadstena is about 50 km W of Linkoping, the capital of the region, center for high-tech industry, and home of one of the largest universities in Sweden. The conference site is the magnificent, former monastery originally built as a royal palace in 1258, pre-dating Stockholm.

ACCOMMODATION The week of the conference is high season for the hotels in Vadstena. The conditions for making reservations are therefore rather strict. The organizing committee urge you to make an early reservation before May 1, as the availability of rooms in Vadstena will be reduced after that date. There is also a four star hotel in the neighbouring town of Motala from which we will arrange transportation.

TRANSPORTATION To Linkoping:

  • From Arlanda Airport, Stockholm, there is a shuttle bus leaving every 10 minutes for the railway station in Stockholm. There are trains leaving for Linkoping (~ 2hrs travel) about every second hour until 10 pm.
  • Alternatively there are a few commuter flights directly to Linkoping Airport from Arlanda Airport or from Kastrup Airport, Copenhagen.
  • If you prefer a rental car, Vadstena is about 250 km easy drive SW from Stockholm. You can also rent a car at Norrkoping International Airport which is about 85 km from Vadstena.

To Vadstena or Motala:

  • If you arrive to Linkoping by air, your travel agency may make a reservation for a flight taxi from Linkoping Airport to your hotel in Vadstena or Motala - cost about 300 SEK (SEK=Swedish Crowns). To make the reservation, please ask your travel agency to call Linkoping Airport, +46-13-181030 (fax 181025). When you arrive in Linkoping Airport, please contact the Information Desk. An ordinary taxi would cost a lot more!
  • There are local buses to Vadstena or Motala, which takes about 90 min.

MIDSUMMER CELEBRATIONS If you would like to join the many Midsummer celebrations taking place all over the country on June 24th, you can get information from the local Tourist Agency during the conference.

The Local Tourist Agency will also have a special presentation for us during the conference. During this presentation you will also be able to make reservations for your travels after the conference.

SOCIAL PROGRAMME Tuesday 21st June - Midsummer Dinner

A full dinner with all the typical Swedish dishes associated with the Midsummer celebrations - with ethnical entertainment.

Wednesday 22nd June - Medieval Banquet

The evening will start with a cocktail in the beautiful monastery garden if the weather permits. We will be saluted by the late king Gustav Vasa who will lead us into the royal dining hall, illuminated by candles and a medieval music orchestra playing.

After the dinner, there will be a midnight concert in the 13th century monastery Abbey.

Other Activities

Guided city tours, excursions to the nature reserve Omberg, visits to homes of swedish cultural personalities - Werner von Heidenstam and Ellen Key - and boattrips will be arranged. There will also be a travel arrangement made to the swedish "Kingdom of Glass", where world-famous glass arts and crafts are manufactured.

MISCELLANEOUS Visa Requirements

Sweden does not require visa from EC, Nordic, and North American countries. Check with the local Swedish consulate for other countries.

Weather

The average temperature in Sweden in June is around 20C. Occasional rain showers may occur.
