Abstract:   
    
   Successful database research and development has made many general 
   database systems available.  The industrial offerings range from 
   traditional large mainframe systems, through workstations & PC servers,
   to mass produced $100 personal systems.  Users, application designers,
   and the software industry strive to get the most from this technology.
   Database researchers, and developers, try hard to further satisfy
   application needs.  The conference aims at developing synergy between
   these communities.  It is intended as the forum to explore innovative
   applications of databases, and innovative database services for specific
   applications.
    
   LOCATION
    
   The town of Vadstena is located about 300 km. south of Stockholm, bordering
   Lake V�ttern, the 2nd largest lake in Sweden.  Vadstena is a medieval
   town with cobbled streets, an ancient abbey and castle.  It is near the
   town of Link�ping, center for high-tech industry, and home of one of the
   largest universities in Sweden.  The conference site is the monastery
   originally built as a royal palace in 1258, pre-dating Stockhom.  It is
   the oldest secular building in Seden.  The conference week includes the
   longest day of the year, when there is light all night in Vadstena and
   midnight sun in northern Sweden.  June 24 is also the national 'Midsummer'
   holiday in Sweden, when many ethnic celebrations take place.  June/July 
   is about the best time for vacations in Scandinavia.
