East/West Database Workshop: Proceedings of the Second International East/West Database Workshop, Klagenfurt, Austria, 25-28 September 1994

Overview

This volume contains papers presented at the Second International East/West Database Workshop, held in Klagenfurt, Austria, from 25-28 September 1994. The theme of the workshop was the breaking down of borders, both political - by bringing together researchers from the East and West - and scientific: how traditional technical borders can be altered to allow collaboration between different types of information systems, and how heterogeneous and distributed databases can be used as enabling technologies for such systems.
