		TOPICS OF INTEREST
KDEX'98 will provide an international forum for researchers,
educators and practitioners to exchange and evaluate information
and experiences related to state-of-the-art issues and trends in the
areas of artificial intelligence and databases. The goal of this
workshop is to expedite technology transfer from researchers to
practitioners, to assess the impact of emerging technologies on
current research directions, and to identify emerging research
opportunities. Educators will present material and techniques for
effectively transferring state-of-the-art knowledge and data
engineering technologies to students and professionals.  

		Main Topics  (not limited to):  
Data sharing, data warehousing and meta-data management  
Distributed intelligent mediators and agents  
Distributed object management  
Information structures and interaction  
Intelligent search, data mining and content-based retrieval  
Knowledge and data engineering systems  
Quality assurance for knowledge and data engineering systems
(correctness, reliability, security, survivability and performance)  
Software re-engineering and intelligent software information systems  
Spatio-temporal, active, mobile and multimedia data  
Emerging applications (biomedical systems, decision support,
geographical databases, Internet technologies and applications,
digital libraries, etc.)  

		SUBMISSION INFORMATION 
Papers  
Papers should be written in English and identify  
one of  the  previously  listed  topics and include a  
list  of   keywords.   The   KDEX'98   Program
Committee will evaluate each submission on  the 
basis  of  originality,  accuracy, clarity and
significance of results. Accepted papers will be
published in the workshop proceedings by the IEEE
Computer Society. A selected number of the accepted
papers will possibly be expanded and revised for
publication in the IEEE Transactions on Knowledge
and Data Engineering (IEEE-TKDE) and the
International Journal of Artificial Intelligence Tools. 
The  cover  page  should  include  the  following  
information : authors'  names,  mailing   addresses,  
email  addresses,  affiliation,  telephone   numbers,  
topics, an abstract of about 200 words, and a few  
keywords.  The  papers  should  be  typeset using  
LaTex/Tex/MS Word or  any  equivalent quality  
typesetting  system  in 10pt  size. All submissions
should be limited to a maximum of 5,000 words.  
After acceptance, authors or their representatives are
expected to present their papers.
