The Fourth International Working Conference on Statistical and
Scientific Data Base Management (IV SSDBM) held on June 21-23, 1988
in Rome, Italy, continued the series of conferences initiated in
California in December 1981. The purpose of this conference was to
bring together database researchers, users and system builders,
working in this specific field, to discuss the particular points of
interest, to propose new solutions to the problems of the domain
and to expand the topics of the previous conferences, both from the
theoretical and from the applicational point of view. The papers of
four scientific sessions dealt with the following topics: knowledge
base and expert system, data model, natural language processing,
query language, time performance, user interface, heterogeneous
data classification, storage constraints, automatic drawing, ranges
and trackers, and arithmetic coding. Two other special sessions
presented work on progress papers on geographical data modelling,
spatial database queries, user interface in an Object Oriented SDB,
interpretation of queries, graphical query language and knowledge
browsing front ends. The conference also had three invited papers
on topics of particular interest such as "Temporal Data,"
"Statistical Data Management Requirements" and "Knowledge Based
Decision Support Systems," included in this volume. The
introductory paper by M. Rafanelli provides both an introduction to
the general concepts helpful to people outside the field and a
survey of all the papers in these Proceedings. Furthermore, there
were three open panels. Papers by the chairmen, contributions of
the panelists and a summary of the respective discussions are
included in this volume, too.
