The aim of DEXA 94 is to present a large spectrum of already implemented or just being developed database and expert systems. The conference will offer the opportunity to extensively discuss requirements, problems, and solutions in the field. Contributions should cover new requirements, concepts for implementations (e.g. languages, models, storage structures), management of meta data, system architectures, and experiences gained by using databases and expert systems in different areas of applications. The conference should inspire a fruitful dialogue between developments in practice, users of database and expert systems, and scientists working in the field. SUGGESTED TOPICS The papers are solicited on applications including, but not limited to, the following topics: CASE Knowledge Engineering CIM Legal Information Systems Communications Machine Learning/Knowledge Aquisition Computer Cartography Medical Information Systems Cooperative DB Multimedia Databases Data Protection Museum Information Systems Databases in the Humanities Natural Language Interfaces Databases on Supercomputers Object-Oriented Databases Deductive Databases Office Information Systems Design Tools Parallel Database Systems Distributed Applications Reverse Engineering Environmental Inf. Systems Scientific/Engineering Applications Expert Systems Architecture Social/Governmental Information Systems Heterogeneous Systems Spatial Databases Historical Databases Statistical Databases Hypertext / Hypermedia Uncertainty Handling Image Processing Visual Interfaces Information Retrieval INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS Submit four copies of a double-spaced paper (with an abstract and key words) limited to 15 pages (long paper), or to 8 pages (short paper) to: Prof. Dr. Dimitris KARAGIANNIS University of Vienna Dept. of Knowledge Engineering Bruenner Strasse 72 Phone: ++43 /1/392647261 A-1210 Vienna Fax: ++43 /1/392647264 Austria e-mail: dk@ifs.univie.ac.at All accepted papers will be published in the "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" (Springer Verlag).
