Since the first conference in Santa Barbara (1989), SSD has been the premier
meeting for the discussion and dissemination of original advances in
spatial databases. SSD'97 will again bring together leading researchers,
developers and practitioners interested in the integration of database
management systems (DBMS) and geographic information systems (GIS).
SCOPE
Original research papers on spatial data management are solicited.
Major topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
o Interoperability and open GIS o Benchmarks and evaluation
o Constraint databases for GIS o Spatio-temporal databases
o Spatial query processing and optimization o Spatial modeling
o Spatial data and the information highways o Spatial data mining
o Applications (e.g., transport networks, urban planning, environmental studies)
SUBMISSION
Please submit a 5000-word manuscript to the program chair.
Authors are encouraged to send their submission electronically to:

| the authors' full name, affiliation, address, phone and fax number,|
| e-mail address |
| o the second one containing *one* uuencoded PostScript file |
| (preferably generated by dvips) |
| |

We will not accept more than one file for the same submission, hence e-mail
with separate figures will be rejected.
We will not accept other formats than PostScript.
The authors are responsible for the printability of their document.
