Crossfertilization Of DBMS Research With Other Disciplines Of Computer Science (Panel Discussion)

Abstract

The DBMS research is moving towards formalization of its problems and solutions. The DBMS researcher can learn and use the techniques that have been developed in formalizing the concepts in Operating systems, Artificial Intelligence, Adaptive systems and Pattern Recognition, and Programming Languages. The panel members are currently involved in research oriented towards cross fertilization of DBMS and various disciplines of computer science. The panel will try to identify commonality of problems, approach and solutions. We hope the discussion will stimulate research in the database area that can fully exploit what we have learned elsewhere.
