Conference Scope
In this Web-age, international collaboration and exchange are even more
important and interesting for data management research and development.
In June 2000, the first WAIM conference was held in Shanghai, China, to
promote such collaboration and exchange. It was a success and attracted
more than 100 participants from 16 countries. (See WAIM'00 Web site http://www.ise.gmu.edu/waim00
for more details.) WAIM'01 will continue this tradition, providing researchers
and practitioners with a forum to share their experiences in tackling problems
in managing and using data, information and knowledge in the age of the
Internet and Web and to identify new issues and directions for research
and development work in the new millennium.
You are invited to submit technical papers in English reporting recent
results in database and related fields. Both research papers and experience
and application papers are welcome. While research papers should report
original research work, experience and application papers should describe
the development and operations of challenging database related systems
and applications.
We promise that the WAIM technical programs will continue to be exciting.
We encourage you to join us in Xi'an, China, and take part in this exciting
and enriching event.
