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 will be
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 and warehouse DBMS
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,
industrial
track short papers,
proposals
for panel discussions and tutorials.
The category 'full research papers'
is intended for technical
papers describing research accomplishment.
They should not exceed
20 double-spaced pages or 5000 words. Short
research 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. We also solicit submissions
of short papers
focusing on industrial
experience with databases, database
systems, and other data-related technologies.
Industrial track
short papers should also 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:
the
title,
an
abstract (70-150 words),
a list
of 4-6 keywords/phrases that characterize the paper,
the
body of the paper,
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:
adbis98@cs.put.poznan.pl
In addition, a separate e-mail message should be
sent containing:
the
title,
name
and affiliation of the author(s),
complete
contact address (e-mail, fax and telephone),
the
abstract,
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 being
printed 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.
