SCOPE:
Among today's information technologies, it has become apparent that the Internet has
incredible
potential to form the basis or foundation of an infrastructure. It is clearly an important
part
of the emerging electronic commerce market. Companies are establishing external home pages
to
communicate product and service information to potential and existing customers, and
investing in
Internet home pages that spread internal textual data throughout the organization. A more
interesting manifestation of the Internet is the foundation of the client/server
infrastructure.
Companies that produce tools for database access are beginning to tie their products into
the
Internet. The issue of accessing a remote database through the Internet has posed
interesting
problem for many database practitioners and researchers, especially in the area of
performance,
security and reliability of an Internet database system.
PAPER SUBMISSIONS:
Authors are invited to submit unpublished papers, limited to 20 pages or 6,000 words long
for
inclusion in the conference to the program chair and industrial sessions chair. The area
of
interest include, but are not limited to the followings:
Web Database Development
Internet Databases
New Applications
Case Studies
User Interfaces
Multimedia Databases
Security and Integrity Maintenance

Accepted paper will appear in the conference proceedings, which will be published by City
