4th International Conference on

Database and Expert Systems Applications

Date: September 6-8, 1993 Location: Prague, Czechoslovakia


AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Use and development of database and expert systems can be found in all fields of
computer science. The aim of DEXA 93 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 so
lutions in the field.

Contributions should cover new requirements, concepts for implementations (e.g.
languages, models, storage structures), management of meta data, system architec
tures, and experiences gained by using databases and expert systems in different
areas of applications.

The conference should inspire a fruitful dialogue between developments in practi
ce, users of database and expert systems, and scientists working in the field.
