CDB'04 First CALL FOR PAPERS
1st INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON APPLICATIONS OF CONSTRAINT DATABASES in conjunction with SIGMOD-PODS 2004
Paris, France, 12-13 June 2004
SCOPE The last few years saw a growing interest of constraint database theory, query evaluation, and applications in a variety of conferences, journals, and books. This symposium wants to bring together people from several diverse areas that can contribute to the practice and the application of constraint databases. It is a continuation and extension of previous workshops held in Friedrichshafen, Germany (1995), Cambridge, USA (1996), Delphi, Greece (1997), and Seattle, USA (1998) as well as of the work in the comprehensive volume "Constraint Databases" edited by G. Kuper, L. Libkin and J. Paredaens (2000) and the textbook "Introduction to Constraint Databases" by P. Revesz (2002).
TOPICS OF INTEREST We especially encourage submissions
- opening new and future directions in constraint database research;
- addressing constraints over domains other than the reals;
- contributing to a better implementation of constraint database systems, in particular of query evaluation;
- addressing efficient quantifier elimination; and
- describing applications of constraint databases.
The following is a non-exclusive list of topics of interest.
applications:
bioinformatics
CAD and GIS
computer security
data mining
model checking
string databases
data and knowledge representation:
approximation techniques
constraint data extraction
constraint interpolation
incomplete information
spatiotemporal models
visualization
query evaluation:
algebras
indexing
quantifier elimination
query languages:
complexity
expressive power
new operators

PROCEEDINGS The proceedings will be published as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer-Verlag. Authors are expected to sign a copyright release form to Springer-Verlag.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS The submission procedure will be electronic: Potential presenters should submit e-mail copies of a paper in English and maximum 15 pages in either PostScript or PDF form to one of the program co-chairs. Selection of papers will be mainly based on relevance, clarity, and significance. The presented results should be original, not published somewhere else and not under submission elsewhere. Please follow the Springer LNCS guidelines for formatting.
