Objectives and Scope
The International Workshop on Real-Time Databases is the primary forum
for the presentation and discussion of the issues involved in the
design and implementation of real-time information systems and
databases. Following the success of RTDB'96, the goal of this
workshop will continue to be the promotion of an active interaction
among real-time database researchers and practitioners. To that end,
contributions describing recent advances both in the concepts and
practice of database design for real-time systems are sought. This
includes but is not limited to:
- Advances in the state-of-art in real-time database technology,
including: novel data and transaction models and standards, and
novel protocols for integrating scheduling, overload
management, concurrency control, and recovery.
- Research in disciplines related to real-time databases such as
active databases, temporal databases, and mobile databases.
- Research work dealing with real-time database issues in
applications such as multimedia, telecommunication networks,
financial transaction systems, real-time internet and intranet
applications, among others.
- Reports describing on-going real-time database system building
efforts, including requirement specifications and design tools,
integration with active, dependable, and secure database features,
and interactions with operating systems and programming
environments.
Submission Guidelines
To achieve the above stated goals, both regular papers and short
position statements are solicited for presentation at RTDB'97 and for
inclusion in the workshop proceedings. Regular papers are limited to
20 double-spaced pages (5,000 words) and are expected to describe
original research or implementation work. Position statements are
limited to 4 double-spaced pages (1,000 words) and are expected to
report on practical experiences in building real-time database systems
and applications, focussing on the insights, lessons learned, and
features to beget.
The proceedings of the workshop will be
distributed in the workshop and also made available on the web.
Selected papers from the workshop will be published in an edited book
planned for publication after the workshop.
Papers and position statements should be sent as postscript files via
Email---hard copies are acceptable, although not preferred. Please
send your submission by April 1, 1997 to one of the Program Co-Chairs
