Announcement and Call for Papers
Second East-European Symposium on
Advances in Databases and Information Systems - ADBIS'98
========================================================
Poznan (Poland), September 8-11, 1998
http://www.cs.put.poznan.pl/adbis98/
Sponsored by the State Committee for Scientific Research (KBN)
Poland
Aims and Scope
--------------
The aim of the conference is to 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.
The Symposium continues the series of ADBIS events organized by
the Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter and held in Moscow and St.
Petersburg. ACM SIGMOD will actively support the organization of
the Symposia and warrant the high quality of the program. 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.
The official language of the conference is English.
The symposium will consist of regular sessions with technical
contributions reviewed and selected by an international program
committee, as well as of invited talks and tutorials given by
leading experts.
Topics
------
The ADBIS'98 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 these 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:
- Data models and database design
- Database performance, query processing and optimization
- Storage management
- Data warehousing
- Data mining, knowledge discovery and knowledge bases
- Deductive and object-oriented databases
- Engineering and scientific databases
- Multimedia information systems
- Temporal and spatial databases
- Real-time database systems
- Interfaces to databases and information systems
- Activity modeling and advanced transaction and workflow
models
- Concurrency control, extended transaction models and recovery
- Interoperable, heterogeneous environments and systems
- Component-based information systems development
- Large area information systems on the Internet (based on WWW,
CORBA, Java technologies)
- Parallel and distributed databases
- Mobile computing and databases
Submission
----------
We solicit contribution of the following kinds:
- full research papers,
- short papers,
- proposals for panel discussions and tutorials.
The category 'research papers' is intended for technical papers
describing research accomplishment. They should not exceed 20
double spaced pages or 5000 words. Short papers are intended for
papers that report interesting results and do not justify a full
paper. They should be limited to 8 double spaced pages or 2000
words.
To enable the 'blind reviewing' of the papers, each submitted
paper must include the following:
a) the title,
b) an abstract (70-150 words),
c) a list of 4-6 keywords/phrases that characterize the paper,
d) the body of the paper,
e) references/bibliography.
The authors are invited to submit their papers electronically in a
device-independent PostScript format following the Adobe Document
Structuring Conventions (ADSC), page size: A4, by e-mail to:
In addition, a separate e-mail message should be sent containing:
a) the title,
b) name and affiliation of the author(s),
c) complete contact address (e-mail, fax and telephone),
d) the abstract,
e) the list of keywords.
Submitted papers will be refereed by at least three reviewers for
quality, correctness, originality and relevance. Accepted papers
will be presented at the Symposium and printed in the proceedings,
which will be available at the Symposium. Full research papers
will be published in the Springer series 'Lecture Notes in
Computer Science', which will be available at the Symposium.
The final versions of the papers should be formatted using LaTeX
to facilitate the process of preparing camera-ready copies for
printing in the proceedings.
Panel proposals should include a 1-2 page summary of the topic and
the names and affiliations of 3-4 panelists who have made a
commitment to participate. A mix of industry and academic panel
members is recommended. Tutorial proposals should also include a 1-
2 page summary. The proposals should be submitted by e-mail.
Receipt of submissions will be acknowledged by e-mail.
