In cooperation with the Commission of the European Communities, DGXIII. SCOPE Deductive databases and object-oriented databases are at the forefront of research in the next generation intelligent database systems. Recently research has focused on integrating the object-oriented paradigm and rule-based deduction to provide a single powerful framework for intelligent database systems. The primary objective of DOOD'93 is to provide a common forum of technical discussions between researchers/developers of deductive databases and object-oriented databases, thereby accelerating the integration of the technical outputs of these two areas. This continues the direction established by the two very successful DOOD conferences held in 1989 in Kyoto, Japan, and in 1991 in Munich, Germany. INVITATION The organizers of DOOD'93 are pleased to welcome you to Scottsdale, Arizona. DOOD'93 promises to be an interesting conference, with papers that are truly representative of an international community. Additionally, an exciting set of special activities has been planned for attendees and their spouses that feature some of the unique aspects of Arizona. The organizing committee would especially like to call your attention to the Cowboy Dinner at Reata Pass on Tuesday evening. Although this is an optional event, we hope that most of you will participate, as it provides an excellent opportunity to meet with colleagues in an Old-West setting.
