SCOPE
=====
A distinguished history of 20 years has established VLDB at the center of
the international data base community. It is one of the oldest established
forums of discussion in the international database community and, without
doubt, one of the most eminent.
VLDB'94 is to take place in Santiago, Chile, a hospitable modern capital
city landmarked by the Mapocho river and the impressive heights of the Andes
mountains.
We invite you to submit papers reporting recent research results in the
general field of databases. In addition, to mark the 20th anniversary
of VLDB special efforts are being made to further the goal of leading in
reporting and stimulating new research directions. To this purpose, we
solicit papers and panel proposals on speculative and futuristic topics.
We also encourage papers on novel and challenging applications of database
technology in designing and building complex information systems.
A new aspect of the conference is the industrial cases program. We
encourage submission of papers describing work of significant interest to
industry, particularly in areas providing interesting directions for the
development of databases. We seek to provide a forum to discuss experiences
in applying databases to real life situations. In the evaluation of papers
submitted to this program, the committee will consider novelty, technical
quality and the value of reported results to developers of information
systems.
A high-quality tutorial program will be offered in both English and
Spanish.
