************************************************

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 continues the ADBIS conferences held in
St. Petersburg (1997), Poznan (1998), Maribor (1999), Prague (2000),
Vilnius (2001), Bratislava (2002), Dresden (2003), Budapest (2004),
Tallinn (2005), Thessaloniki (2006), Varna (2007), Pori (2008),
and Riga (2009).
The conference will consist of regular sessions with technical contributions
(regular papers, track-based papers and invited papers)
reviewed and selected by an international program committee,
as well as of invited talks and tutorials presented by leading scientists.
Doctoral consortium (DC) and different Workshops will be held in line
with the main conference.
The official language of the conference will be English.

SUBMISSION
Contributions are solicited for the following categories:
? full research papers describing research accomplishments
(approximately 5000 words),
? demonstrations and short communications,
i.e. experience reports, project overviews, etc. which do not fully
adhere to the standards of a first rate scientific publication,
but are nevertheless of interest and value for the participants
of the conference,
? track-based papers
(respectable researchers will organize tracks on invitation),
? invited papers,
? proposals for tutorials and panels,
? proposals for workshops.

The program committee may decide to accept a submission as a short paper
(2000?3000 words) if it reports interesting results but does not justify
publication of a full paper.
Research papers will be published in the LNCS series of Springer Verlag.
Communications will be included in additional local 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 should be in PDF format and should be submitted
electronically via the ADBIS `Submission and Review System?.
For their submissions, authors are encouraged to consider the final
paper format requirements, as specified at the conference site.

Research papers should be original contributions and
should not be accepted or submitted elsewhere until
the decisions of the ADBIS 2010 program committee are announced.
At least one author from every submission accepted to appear in the
Springer proceedings or the local proceedings is obliged to register
and attend the conference.
