Data Engineering Bulletin Issues


Copyright Notice

Beginning with the March 1996 issue, articles appearing in the Data Engineering Bulletin are copyrighted by the IEEE. Personal use of this material is permitted. However, permission to reprint/republish this material for advertising or promotional purposes or for creating new collective works for resale or redistribution to servers or lists, or to reuse any copyrighted component of this work in other works must be obtained from the IEEE.

Selecting an Issue

There are three (3) publication forms for each issue published. These are
  • PDF (PDF) : Most members will find the PDF version of an issue to be the appropriate choice. The Acrobat Reader is freely available and easy to install, and its display is very readable. PDF is also quite compact compared with postscript.
  • Postscript (letter): United States members preferring postscript may find the letter version appropriate, as postscript printers in the U.S.A. are frequently are not set up to print A4 size documents.
  • Postscript (A4): International members preferring postscript may find the A4 version appropriate, as postscript printers outside of the U.S.A. are frequently not set up to print letter size documents.

There are two additional versions still available for issues between March, 1993 and June, 2000. They are described below:
Should you experience difficulty in printing or displaying the postscript, this is usually because figures in a paper of the issue cannot be handled by your postscript printer. The versions (letter-figures) and (A4-figures) are made available for this reason. These files do not have psfig-included figures (though other figures are sometimes present). These "draft" files should be printable essentially everywhere. Also, the "draft" files are all less than a megabyte in size, so they may be appropriate if space is a problem.

The following (earlier) issues were published when the name for the Bulletin was Bulletin of the Technical Committee on Database Engineering. This is indicative of a name change for the technical committee. Earlier, it was the TC on Database Engineering. Subsequently, it became the TC on Data Engineering.
