IDEAS'99

3th International Database Engineering & Applications Symposium

 


August 2-4 1999

Montreal, Canada


 

FINAL PROGRAM

 



The symposium provides an international forum for discussion of the problems of engineering database systems involving not only database technology but the related areas of information retrieval, multimedia, human machine interface and communication. The goal of IDEAS is to foster closer interaction among the industrial, research and user communities and provide an excellent opportunity for them to meet, discuss ideas, examine the current ones and develop new solutions and research directions. Along with the technical sessions, the symposium also features prominent invited speakers. We invite participants from academia, computer and user industries, and government to share ideas and experiences.

 

IDEAS'99 is hosted by Concordia University and organised by the the Database Group at Concordia University and IDEAS in cooperation with IEEE. Sponsored by CRIM, IBM, Dept. of Computer Science, Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science and Concordia University.
