Advances in Databases and Information Systems
ADBIS'95

Second International Workshop of the Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter
Moscow, June 27-30, 1995
In cooperation with the RUSSIAN FOUNDATION FOR BASIC RESEARCH

Aims and Scope

ADBIS'95 continues a series of annual Workshops on Advances in Databases and Information Systems organized by the Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter. Past successful ADBIS conferences include ADBIS'93 and ADBIS'94 Workshops that took place in Moscow. The aims of these workshops are to provide a forum for the presentation and in-depth discussion of advanced research directions that will effectively improve the building and use of future information systems and to increase communication between the Eastern and Western research communities which were formerly separated and still have only rare possibilities to interact. Improving of the contacts and exchange of ideas between researchers from the East and from the West will eventually lead to their better collaborations.

Topics

The next ADBIS workshop as the previous ones will cover a wide range of research topics in the area. This time the workshop programm committee specifically encourages also contributions which focus on the advanced issues of the information systems development.

High quality papers are solicited in various areas of database research that will impact future information systems including (but not limited to):

• Conceptual modeling and specification
• Requirements engineering
• Design engineering
• Methodologies and tools
• Deductive and object-oriented databases
• Activity modelling and advanced transaction models
• Interfaces to databases and information systems
• New and challenging database applications
• Scientific databases and information systems
• Multimedia databases
• Interoperable, heterogeneous environments and systems
• Semantic interoperability

Workshop Structure

To maintain an intensive workshop atmosphere and enable indepth discussions the number of participants is limited to 70. For the workshop please submit to the e-mail address adbis@rbrf.msk.su an extended abstract (4 - 5 pages in LaTeX or pure ASCII) by March 15, 1995 to be reviewed by the Program Committee. Complete texts of the accepted papers (in LaTeX) should be e-mailed to the address adbis@rbrf.msk.su before June 1 to be preprinted and distributed during the Workshop.

Workshop Proceedings

Workshop Proceedings are negotiated to be published by Springer-Verlag Publishers after the Workshop.
