Call for Papers

ADBIS 2011

Fifteenth East-European Conference on

Advances in Databases and Information Systems

September 19th–23rd, 2011, Vienna, Austria

http://www.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/ADBIS2011/


AIMS AND SCOPE

The main objective of the ADBIS series of conferences is to provide a 
forum for the dissemination of research accomplishments and to 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 will consist of regular sessions with technical 
contributions (regular papers, short papers) reviewed and selected by an 
international program committee, as well as of invited talks and 
tutorials presented by leading scientists. A doctoral consortium and 
several workshops focusing on specific topics will be held in line with 
the main conference. The official language of the conference will be 
English.

TOPICS

Original papers dealing with theory and/or applications of database 
technology and information systems engineering are solicited. The areas 
of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

* New data base architectures, distributed data management (e.g., data 
streams, P2P, replication, and cloud)
* Theoretical foundations of data bases and information systems
* Innovative data management applications (e.g., Web services and 
mashups, social networks, scientific databases, sensor networks, 
decision-making and analytics, etc. )
* Data models and languages (e.g., semi-structured, probabilistic, 
multi-media, temporal, spatial)
* Semantic information processing (ontologies, interoperability, meta 
modeling, etc.)
* Workflow and process management
* Data and information systems integration and interoperability, 
meta-data management, data quality, data cleaning
* Data warehouses and data mining
* Performance, scalability and dependability of databases and 
information systems
* Benchmarking and experimental methodology
* Other aspects of modern information systems such as data security, 
data privacy, personalization, user interfaces, etc.

SUBMISSION

Contributions are solicited for the following categories:

· full research papers describing research accomplishments (14 pages 
LNCS format),

· demonstrations and short papers, i.e. experience reports, project 
overviews, etc. (8 pages LNCS format)

All submissions will be evaluated by the at least three members of the 
international program committee with respect to originality, technical 
quality, validity, contribution, and presentation. The program committee 
may decide to accept a submission as a short paper (2000–3000 words) if 
it reports interesting results, ideas, or experiences, but could not be 
selected as full paper.

Full research papers will be published in the LNCS series of Springer 
Verlag. Short communications will be included in additional proceedings 
published in CEUR-Workshop proceedings. A selection of outstanding 
papers from the conference may be invited for publication in an 
internationally recognized journal (subject to additional reviewing). 
All contributions have to be in PDF format using the LNCS style 
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs ) and have to be submitted 
electronically via the ADBIS `Submission and Review System’. See details 
at the conference site. Submissions which have more than 16 pages will 
be rejected automatically.

Research papers must be original contributions and must not be accepted 
or submitted elsewhere until the decisions of the ADBIS 2011 program 
committee are announced. At least one author from every submission 
accepted to appear in the proceedings is obliged to register and attend 
the conference.

AWARDS

The best paper authored by a student as main author will receive an 
award. Submissions should indicate their eligibility for the award.

Conference Venue

ADBIS 2011 will be held in the main building of the Vienna University of 
Technology (TU Vienna) Vienna, Austria. For nearly 200 years, the TU 
Vienna has been a place of research, teaching and learning in the 
service of progress. The TU Vienna is among the most successful 
technical universities in Europe and is Austria’s largest research and 
educational institution in the area of technical sciences.

Vienna, the capital of Austria, is a city of over 1.8 million 
inhabitants. It is one of the great cultural centres of Europe with a 
continuous history of more than 2000 years. During the Middle Ages, 
Vienna rose to importance in connecting central Europe with the East, 
and eventually became the capital of the vast Habsburg empire. The 
exceptional concentration of talent, reflected by the great achievements 
in music, art, and the sciences, was a consequence of Vienna’s role as a 
meeting place of a large number of different nations and traditions. 
Although much reduced in importance by the break-up of the 
Austro-Hungarian monarchy at the end of World War I, and placed on the 
periphery of the western world as a consequence of World War II, Vienna 
has retained its role as one of the leading capitals of Europe. Since 
the fall of the Iron Curtain it has successfully resumed its tradition 
of connecting the East and the West.

Today Vienna is a thriving international city, integrating the rich 
inheritance of a glorious past with a dynamic approach to the modern 
world. As a seat of numerous international organizations and an 
important turntable for business enterprises, Vienna is at the same time 
a city of operas, concert halls, theatres, universities, museums, and, 
last but not least, of coffee houses and “Heurigen”. Its maybe this 
combination which makes Vienna such a favored destination for 
conferences and conventions.
