SSD'93: The 3rd Int'l Symposium on Large Spatial Databases will be held
in Singapore on 21st-25th June 1993. It's organized by Department of
Information Systems and Computer Science, National University of Singapore
and sponsored by IEEE Computer Chapter, Singapore Section in Cooperation
with ACM SIGMOD, IEEE Computer Society, Information Processing Society of
Japan.

SSD'93 is the third of the Symposia on Large Spatial Database Symposium
series.  As with the previous conferences in Santa Barbara (1989) and
Zurich (1991), it will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to
report advances and to exchange information on topics concerned with
database theory and advanced applications in such areas as Geographic
Information Systems, CAD/CAM and AM/FM.

Submissions of papers presenting original research on spatial data
management are invited.

Topics of special relevance to the symposium include:
        * spatial data models and structures
        * spatial access methods
        * spatial query processing and transaction management
        * semantics of spatial databases
        * data representations and mapping between representations
        * user interfaces and languages
        * heterogeneous spatial databases
        * federated and interoperable spatial database management systems

Please submit five copies of your paper to your nearest Programme Committee
Co-chairs by 15th November 1992.  Manuscripts should be in English and not
more than 25 pages (up to 5000 words).  The papers will be reviewed by
at least three programme committee members.

FEGIS'93:  Far East Workshop on Geographic Information Systems will be
held on 18th-19th June, 1993 at Singapore.

FEGIS'93, the Far East Workshop on Geographic Information Systems, focuses
specifically on the development and application of geographic information
systems (GISs). The workshop is timely as many large scale GIS projects
have recently been initiated in this region and there is increased concern
for more efficient and inter-operable GISs.  This workshop provides a rare
and important occasion for applied researchers, GIS developers and users
to share their experiences, their problems and results. In particular,
sessions for large scale GIS projects ( by invitation ) undertaken in this
region are planned.

Submissions of papers presenting practical experiences and results of
applied research in GIS are invited. Topics of special relevance to the
workshop include (but are not limited to):

  -  system design and implementation
  -  data modeling and  management in GIS
  -  query languages  and query processing
  -  display techniques and user interface
  -  integration of GIS and remote sensing
  -  inter-operability of heterogeneous GIS systems
  -  GIS applications
  -  planning and management of  GIS projects

FEGIS'93 is to be held in conjunction with SSD'93, the 3rd International
Symposium on Large Spatial Databases (23rd-25th June, 1993). Tutorials
are scheduled for SSD'93 and FEGIS'93 on 21st-22nd June, 1993. Industrial
exhibitions will be held from 17th to 25th June 1993. For further information
on the symposium, please contact the secretariat.

Four copies of manuscripts in English and limited to not more than 25
pages ( 5000 words) should be submitted by 1st December, 1992 to :

   Lu Hongjun
   Department of Information Systems and Computer Science
   National University of Singapore
   Lower Kent Ridge, Singapore 0511
   E-mail: luhj@iscs.nus.sg

The papers will be reviewed by the programme committee members.  Accepted
papers will be presented during the workshop and published in the workshop
proceedings by World Scientific Publishing Company.

Special  industrial sessions  are planned.  GIS vendors are welcome to submit
proposals to the programme chair or the industrial programme chair

   Mrs Tang-Kwong Yuk Wah
   Land Systems Support Unit
   Ministry of Law
   1 Colombo Court #06-12/16
