1. SAC 2005

In the last nineteen years, ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) 
has been a primary and international forum for applied computer 
scientists, computer engineering, and other computer related 
professionals to gather, interact, present, and disseminate their 
research and development work. ACM SAC has been sponsored by the 
Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and  SIGAPP's 
mission is to further the interests of the computing professionals 
engaged in the development of new computing techniques and 
applications areas and the transfer of computing technology to new 
problem domains. SAC 2005 will be hosted by New Mexico Institute of 
Mining and Technology, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, on March 13-17, 2005. 
The conference proceedings will be published by ACM and will be also 
available online through ACM's Digital Library. For additional 
information, please visit the above official ACM SAC 2005 web site.

2. Special Track on Database Theory, Technology, and Applications (DTTA)

For many years, the Database Theory, Technology, and Applications track 
has been one of the important parts of the ACM SAC conference. To support 
ACM SAC, a special track on Database Theory, Technology, and Applications 
will be held again in SAC 2005. The DTTA track will be a forum for 
database scholars, research scientists, engineers, and practitioners 
throughout the world to share their theoretical results, technical ideas, 
and exploratory experiences relating to implementation and applications. 
You are cordially invited to submit technical papers to the DTTA track of 
SAC 2005, and major topics of interest for the track include, but not 
limited to the following:

Active, Deductive, and Logic Databases
Audio/Video Database Systems
Cache and Buffer Management
Cooperative Database Systems and Workflow Management
Database Indexing and Tuning
Data Privacy and Security
Data Warehousing, Data Cubes, and Aggregate Processing
Digital Library
Disk Arrays and Tertiary Storage Systems for Very Large Databases

4. Guidelines for Paper Submission

Original papers from the above-mentioned or other related areas will be 
considered. This includes three categories of submissions:  1) original 
and unpublished research;  2) reports of innovative computing applications 
in the arts, sciences, engineering, business, government, education and 
industry; and 3) reports of successful technology transfer to new problem 
domains. 

Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a double-blind 
review process by at least three referees for quality, correctness, 
originality, and relevance. Notification and reviews will be communicated 
via email. All papers must be submitted electronically in the format of 
Adobe PDF and Postscript (preferably) or MS Word. Please, upload your 
papers electronically to the website:

http://delab.csd.auth.gr/reviews/sac2005/

Author(s) name(s) and address(es) must NOT appear in the paper body. Any 
self-reference should be in the third person. Each paper must not exceed 
4,000 words (approx. 15-20 pages, double-spaced). The program committee 
may reject papers that exceed this length on the grounds of length alone. 
In addition, for each submitted paper, a separated cover page (preferably 
in MS Word or plain ASCII) should be sent to the email address: 

sac2005-KvxHk+jYVUj33ue98Ry3zlAUjnlXr6A1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

including the paper title, abstract, list of key words, and list of authors 
with full names and postal addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, 
and email addresses. One of the authors must be designated as the primary 
contact point to receive the notification at the time of the paper submission. 

At least one of the authors of the accepted paper must register for the 
conference and present the paper, and the final camera-ready copies of 
accepted papers must fit within five (5) two-column pages, with the option 
(at additional expense) to add three (3) more pages. Accepted papers will be 
published in the ACM SAC 2005 proceedings. A set of selected papers, which 
did not get accepted as full papers, will be accepted as poster papers and 
will also be published as extended two (2) two-column pages abstracts in the 
ACM SAC 2005 proceedings.
