ADBIS: 17th East-European Conference on ADVANCES IN DATABASES AND
        INFORMATION SYSTEMS
September 1-4, 2013 - Genova, Italy

----------------------------------------------------
Conference and PhD Consortium 2nd Call for Papers
----------------------------------------------------

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.


***NEW: Keynote Speakers ***
----------------------------------------------------

ADBIS promises a very exciting programme featuring keynotes by distinguished 
researchers Anastasia Ailamaki (EPFL, Switzerland)  and Martin Theobald 
(University of Antwerp, Belgium).


Doctoral Consortium:
----------------------------------
The DC sessions are scheduled in parallel with workshop sessions affiliated 
with the ADBIS conference on the 1st of September. Each participant will have 
an opportunity to present her/his research, followed by discussion with and 
comments by senior researchers.

In addition, a poster session will be held during the main conference. Each 
participant of the Doctoral Consortium is supposed to present her/his research 
during the poster session, thus increasing the exposure of the research and 
engaging in discussions with senior members of the research community.


Related Conferences:
--------------------------------
This year ADBIS will be collaborating with VLDB, which is taking place in Riva 
del Garda, Trento, right before ADBIS, in order to facilitate the participation 
in both conferences, through a number of travel grants.

Submission Instructions:
--------------------------------------
ADBIS papers must be submitted (as a single PDF document) via the EasyChair 
system, available at:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=adbis2013

Full conference papers must not exceed 14 pages in the LNCS format (Latex style 
only for camera-ready papers).
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.

Submission instruction for the Doctoral Consortium can be found at the DC Site:
