Promoted by the EDBT Foundation
Organized by Departament de Sistemes Informatics i Computacio
(Universitat Politicnica de Valincia)
EDBT started ten years ago in Venice (1988), and since then it has has been
successfully held every two years: Venice (1990), Vienna (1992), Cambridge
(1994), Avignon (1996). With its traditional emphasis in European
participation, the success of each one of its past editions has nevertheless
established EDBT as one of the leading international database
conferences. EDBT'98 will be held in Valencia, Spain, and will continue
the tradition of providing an open forum in which to discuss, from both
an industrial and a research perspective, new developments and applications
of database technology. Europe's strong database research community, as
well as its leading technology developers and many large commercial
database users make EDBT'98 a highly attractive conference. Among
many others, some of the main topics that will be addressed during EDBT'98
are:
Advanced database applications:
Multimedia and hypermedia database systems
Advanced user interfaces for data manipulation
Information resource dictionaries/repositories
Data mining in relational and spatial databases
Data Warehousing, OLAP
Similarity and multidimensional search
Mobility and Databases
Internet/Intranet Services and Databases
Transaction Processing
Advanced transaction processing techniques
Transactions in the Internet
Transactions in distributed applications
Workflow Management Systems
Transactional Services in Distributed Systems
Replication and Availability in Distributed Systems

Conference location
Valencia is ensconced in fertile terrain on the shores of the Mediterranean
close to the mouth of the Turia river. Valencia and its environs constitute a
first rate tourist centre in both infrastructure and alternatives for the
discerning visitor. Of historical interest yet cosmopolitan, the city has
grown and adapted to the times conserving its rich heritage while becoming
a leading economic and financial centre in present day Spain. The conference
will be held at the Palau de Pineda (Universidad Internacional Menindez
Pelayo) and Palau del Marquis de Vallejo (Universitat de Valincia-Estudi
General).
