The Tenth Data Engineering Conference will provide a forum for the sharing of original research results and engineering experiences among researchers and practitioners interested in automated data and knowledge management. The purpose of the conference is to examine problems facing the developers of future information systems, the applicability of existing research solutions and the directions for new research. TECHNICAL PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS ---------------------------- Research papers sessions on Disk Storage Management, Management of Distributed Data, Query Processing, Analytical Modeling, Temporal Databases, Multidatabase Systems, Knowledge and Rule Management, Indexing Techniques, Data Mining, Parallel Databases, and Heterogeneous Information Systems. Invited presentations by Al Aho (Bellcore): "Engineering Universal Access to Distributted Interactive Multimedia Data" and Gio Wiederhold (ARPA): "From Data Engineering to Information Engineering". Panel discussions on Mobile Computing, Business Applications of Data Mining, and Future Database Technologies. Technology and Application Track with practice-oriented presentations of applications of database technologies.

Local attractions range from the NASA Johnson Space Center, where you can visit the control center for space flights, to Houston Rodeo (the largest in the world!), which starts during the weekend following the Conference. San Antonio with its famous Riverwalk and New Orleans with its French Quarter are only a short drive away. The conference banquet will be a Texas Country and Western Evening at the Post Oak Ranch (the seating is limited so please reserve your tickets early - $38 each).
