CALL FOR PAPERS

Transactions and Database Dynamics

Eighth International Workshop on
Foundations of Models and Languages for Data and Objects

Schloß Dagstuhl, Germany

September 27th - 30th, 1999

organized by
University of Magdeburg,
GI-Arbeitskreis ``Grundlagen von Informationssystemen''

(German Informatics Society - Working Group ``Foundations of Information Systems'')


This international workshop will be the eighth in a series focusing on foundations of models and languages for data and objects. The main principle of this workshop series is to concentrate on one selected topic and to offer the opportunity for in-depth exchange of ideas and experiences. In order to stimulate extensive discussions, the time for the presentation of a long (short) paper is 60 (30) minutes followed by about 30 (15) minutes of discussion. Furthermore, another participant will be asked in advance to prepare a response to the work presented. In addition to the talks, there will be working groups which concentrate on current research topics and try to develop a common understanding of the problems involved. Due to the special character of the workshop, every participant is expected to stay for the complete duration of the workshop.

Relevant Topics

The general focus of this workshop will be on ``Transactions and Database Dynamics''. Typical, but not exclusive topics of interest are:
  • formal models for transactions and database behavior
  • foundations of advanced transaction models
  • logical framework for transactions and database dynamics
  • specification of database behavior
  • semantics for database dynamics
  • method specification and transaction refinement
  • design of transactions and database dynamics
  • dynamic integrity constraints
  • semantic transactions and compensation
  • specification, verification, and validation of transaction protocols
  • transactions in active databases
  • transactions in distributed and federated databases
  • transactional workflows
  • transactions in mobile computing and special applications
  • new applications for transactions
