 Distributed and Parallel Object    Management Data Distribution and Replication
 High-Performance Storage Systems        Data Integration
 Parallel and Distributed File Systems   Heterogeneous and Multidatabase Systems
 Query Processing and Optimization       Performance Evaluation
 Parallel Database Algorithms            Reliability and Availability
 Transaction Models and Management

**************************INSTRUCTIONS*********************************
Original papers on the above topics are invited.  These should be no longer
than 25 double-spaced pages or 8000 words.  Please submit six copies to reach
one of the program co-chairs at the following addresses by June 15, 1992:




Michael Carey  (PDIS-2)          | Patrick Valduriez (Re: PDIS-2)
Computer Sciences Department     |
University of Wisconsin INRIA,   | Rocquencourt
1210 West Dayton Street          | 78153 Le Chesnay Cedex
Madison, WI  53706   USA         | France


In addition, authors of papers should send electronic mail to
pdis2@cs.wisc.edu with the title of the manuscript, authors' names
(without affiliations), and an abstract limited strictly to a length of
80 words.  (The full manuscript may have as long an abstract as you wish,
but please adhere strictly to the length limit in the electronic version).
If you do not have access to electronic mail, send the above information
with the manuscript on a separate sheet of paper.  In any event, this
information must be supplied and must reach its destination by
June 15, 1992.  Finally, authors will be interested to know that a special
issue of The VLDB Journal containing the best papers from the PDIS
conference is being planned.

To promote cross-fertilization between works in progress, short synopses
of substantial projects are also invited.  These should be 4-5 double-spaced
pages, or 1000-1500 words, containing enough information for the program
committee to understand the scope of the problem being addressed and evaluate
the novelty of the proposed solution.  The current status of the project
should also be indicated.  Time will be provided in the program to discuss
innovative aspects of selected projects.  Please submit six copies of each
project synopsis to reach one of the program co-chairs by June 15, 1992.
