Call for Papers

Aims and Scope

The main objective of the ADBIS series of conferences is to provide a forum for the dissemination of research accomplishments and promote interaction and collaboration between the Database and Information Systems research communities from Central and East European countries and the rest of the world. The ADBIS conferences provide an international platform for the presentation of research on database theory, development of advanced DBMS technologies, and their advanced applications.

The Conference continues the ADBIS series of events held in St. Petersburg (1997), Poznan (1998), Maribor (1999), Prague (2000), Vilnius (2001), Bratislava (2002), and Dresden (2003). Actually, as an international event, the ADBIS conferences started with three inter­national workshops in Moscow in 1994 – 1996. Therefore ADBIS’2004 will in fact be the 11^th ADBIS event.

ADBIS’2004 will consist of regular sessions with technical contributions reviewed and selected by an international program committee, as well as of invited talks and tutorials presented by leading scientists.
