PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS

                             DOOD'95

               Fourth International Conference on

             Deductive and Object-Oriented Databases

                  December 4-7, 1995, Singapore

THE CONFERENCE

This conference provides an  international  forum  for  technical
discussion  among  researchers, developers, and users of database
systems from academia, business and  industry.  DOOD  focuses  on
research   in    the  theory  of  deductive  and  object-oriented
databases, the integration of object-oriented paradigm and  rule-
based  deduction  to  provide  a  single  powerful  framework for
intelligent database systems, and advanced applications  of  such
systems.   This  continues the direction established by the three
very successful DOOD conferences held in 1989 in Kyoto, Japan, in
1991  in  Munich,  Germany, and in 1993 in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
Papers  describing  implemented  DOOD  systems,   from   academic
prototypes   to   advanced   industrial  projects,  are  strongly
solicited.

SUGGESTED TOPICS

The following topics are of interest when treated in the  context
of deductive and object-oriented databases.

Integrating the Logic and OO Paradigms
Integrating with Programming Languages
Integrating with Existing DB Technology
Applications
Data Models
Object Management
Object Migration
Rule Management
Active Rule Management
Transaction Management

Database Design Tools
User Interfaces

PAPERS

Authors are  cordially  invited  to  submit  five  copies  of  an
original  paper  on  topics  including, but not limited to, those
listed above, to the region's Program Committee Co-Chair by April

format in 12 point font, and  not  more  than  5,000  words.   We
