*** Call for Papers ***

21st European Conference on Advances in Databases
and Information Systems

Hilton Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus

24 - 27 September, 2017

http://cyprusconferences.org/adbis2017/

*** Submission Deadline: 28 April 2017 (firm) ***


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 system
research communities from 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. The official language of the conference will be English. A
Doctoral Consortium and different Workshops will be held in line with the
main conference.

PAPER PUBLISHING

ADBIS accepted research papers will be published in a Springer Lecture
Notes in Computer Science volume. Papers must not exceed 14 pages in
the LNCS format. For camera-ready papers use Latex or Word style (find
here http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=
0-164-2-793332-0&changeHeader). The program committee may
decide to accept a submission as a short paper if it reports interesting
results but does not justify publication of a full paper. ADBIS short
research papers must not exceed 8 pages. The best paper authored solely
by students will receive an award. Best papers of the main conference will
be invited for submission in special issues of the ISI-indexed journals
Information Systems (http://www.journals.elsevier.com/information-systems/)
and Informatica (http://www.informatica.si/).
