Proceedings of the second international workshop on statistical database management

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together statisticians and computer scientists, statistical database system users and system builders, to exchange ideas on statistical database management. Statistical databases contain statistical information or are used for statistical analysis, and they present recognized problems that current data management and statistical software do not fully address. The goals of this workshop are the same as its predecessor held in December 1981, but its organization differs in a number of ways. The proceedings are published prior to the Workshop so that they can: (1) report research results and work in progress, (2) provide an intellectual introduction to most of the workshop participants, (3) provide a point of departure for working group discussions.
