First East-European Symposium on
Advances in Databases and Information Systems - ADBIS'97
========================================================
St.-Petersburg (Russia), September 2 - 5, 1997
In cooperation with the ACM SIGMOD
Sponsored by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research
Supported by the University of St.-Petersburg
Aims and Scope
--------------
The East European Symposium on Advances in Databases and
Information Systems (ADBIS) - a series of annual high quality
international conferences - will provide a forum for the
exchange of scientific achievements between the research
communities of Eastern Europe and the rest of the world in the
area of databases and information systems. It continues and
consolidates the series of ADBIS workshops organized by the
Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter and the East-West Database workshops.
The new annual Symposium will be hosted by different countries
of the Eastern Europe including the Czech Republic, Estonia,
Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Ukraine (this list is
open and only indicates an immediate possibility of the
countries to host the Symposium).
The symposium will consist of regular sessions with technical
contributions reviewd and selected by an international program
commitee, invited talks by leading experts, tutorials, and
special sections like industrial programs and posters on
ongoing research projects in Eastern European countries.
ACM SIGMOD will actively support the organisation of the
Symposia and warrant the high quality of the program. The
Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter serves as a focal point of the event.
The organizers have the ambition to make the ADBIS Symposium
the premier database and information systems conference in
Eastern Europe, to increase interaction and collaboration
between researchers from East and West and to provide an
internationally recognized tribune for the presentation of
research.
Topics
------
The ADBIS'97 Symposium focuses on emerging and innovative
approaches through which advanced information systems (IS) and
system-level functions can be developed within the distinct
frameworks. New large- and middle-scaled IS components, their
performance issues, their reliability, their architectures and
applications, and progress in their design, implementation and
deployment technologies will continue to be emphasized.
Additionally, the symposium addresses to the uprising subjects
and topics. Among which are the emerging theories,
computational principles, technologies and architectures within
which novel principles and techniques can be developed and
applied to address practical issues for large- and
middle-scaled information systems, such as integrity
constraints, consistency, performance, object management,
interoperability, cooperative systems, transaction management,
distributed computations, client-server systems, etc.
Submissions are invited on topics including, but not limited
to, the following:
- Object-oriented and computational models
- Ontological modeling and specification
- Enterprise Modeling
- Requirements engineering
- Design engineering
- Re-engineering and legacy systems
- Methodologies and tools
- Activity modelling and advanced transaction and
workflow models
- Data Warehousing
- Parallel and distributed databases
- Deductive and object-oriented databases
- Data mining, knowledge discovery and knowledge bases
- Interfaces to databases and information systems
- Novel database application areas
- Scientific databases and information systems
- Large area information systems on the Internet (based on
WWW, CORBA, Java technologies)
- Multimedia information systems
- Interoperable, heterogeneous environments and systems
- Semantic interoperability, megaprogramming and reuse
Information for Authors
-----------------------
Only electronic submissions will be considered. The authors are
invited to send extended abstracts of their contributions not
exceeding 4000 words (4--5 pages) in LaTeX (Postscript for
pictures) or in Postscript before March 7, 1997 to the address:
At least one of the authors of accepted papers is expected to
attend the Symposium. Full versions of accepted papers (LaTeX
source, Postscript for pictures is required) must be sent to
the same address by June 13, 1997 for printing and distribution to
participants of the symposium. The papers should not exceed 8000
words. Final paper versions for the proceedings must be
e-mailed before October 30, 1997.
Negotiations are taking place for publication of the
proceedings by the Kluwer Academic Publishers.

The ADBIS workshops have provided special sections to Russian
Basic Research Foundation (RBRF) contributions as well Ph.D
students contributions over the past few years. Selected
presentations and contributions are continue to be identified
for development into full proceedings papers.
