A problem occurred in the production of the EMBL36 data bank on the 93.4.0 release of the IntelliGenetics data banks. Unfortunately, this problem was not discovered until after the release had been shipped. CD-ROM Release 93.4.1 contained a corrected version of EMBL36, along with a notice informing users that they should replace the incorrect version. Special patch tapes containing the corrected EMBL36 were prepared and shipped to all customers with tape subscriptions.

This document includes: - Conference Description - Registration Forms - Preliminary Program SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE ----------------------- Data Engineering deals with the modeling and structuring of data in the development and use of information systems, as well as with relevant aspects of computer systems and architecture. 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. TUTORIAL PROGRAM ---------------- 1) Klaus Dittrich (Zurich University) and Jennifer Widom (IBM Almaden), "Active Database Systems", Sunday, February 13, 1994, (full day). 2) Krishna Kulkarni (Tandem Computers Inc.) and Andrew Eisenberg (DEC), "New Developments in SQL Standard", Monday Morning, February 14, 1994, (half day). 3) Prasun Dewan (University of North Carolina), "User Interfaces and Databases", Tuesday Morning, February 15, 1994, (half day). 4) Arif Ghafoor (Purdue University) "Multimedia Database Systems", Monday Afternoon, February 14, 1994, (half day). 5) Wolfgang Klas, Karl Aberer (GMD - IPSI), "Object-oriented Modeling of Hypermedia Documents, Monday Morning, February 14, 1994, (half day). 6) Lynn L.

Local arrangements ------------------ The 10th ICDE will take place in Houston - the fourth largest city in USA. 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).

Its a real time world where scientists can communicate. to get there telnet bioinfo.weizmann.ac.il 8888 or if this doesnt work try telnet bioinfo.weizmann.ac.il 8888 /port=8888 and connect as a guest or register. I am bringing this to everyones attention as i am thinking of starting a molbiol discussion group in this world. Last Friday was held the first journal club in the seminar room on BioMOO. Up to 28 people were logged on and I hear it was a very interesting experience. The journal club is about evolutionary biology (i think). If any one is interested try telnetting to the BioMOO. Any problems then contact bmgustav@bioinformatics.weizmann.ac.il Bolo on Martin Leach -- .....
