			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 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
Data Protection				Multimedia Databases
