==============================General Information========================
In co-operation with the Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter, VLDB'2003,
University of Applied Sciences in Dresden, University of Cottbus

Co-operation with ACM SIGMOD is also envisaged.

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 series of events held in St. Petersburg 
(1997),
Poznan (1998), Maribor (1999), Prague (2000),  Vilnius (2001) and Bratislava 
(2002).
Actually, as an international event, the ADBIS conferences started with three
international workshops in Moscow in 1994 - 1996. Therefore ADBIS'2003 will in
fact be the 10th ADBIS event. ADBIS'2003 has been accepted as colocated event
for the VLDB'2003 conference (Berlin, September 9 - 12, 2003). VLDB'2003 will
provide separate funding for participants coming from Eastern Europe.
ADBIS'2003 will consist of regular sessions with technical contributions
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.

=========================SUBMISSIONS=============================================

        SUBMISSION
We solicit contributions of the following form:
* full research papers describing research accomplishments (approximately 5000 
words),
* short research papers that report interesting results and do not justify a 
full
  paper (2000 - 3000 words),
* communications, i.e. experience reports, surveys, 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,
* proposals for tutorials and panels.
Research papers should be original contributions, not accepted or submitted 
elsewhere.
Research papers will be published in the LNCS series of Springer Verlag. 
Communications
will be included in additional local proceedings. There is an intention to 
publish a
selection of outstanding papers in an internationally recognised journal 
(subject to an
additional review process).
We can only accept electronic submissions in Postscript, PDF, or RTF format. 
Already at
the submission stage, authors are encouraged to consider the final paper format 
requirements,
as specified at http: http://dbis-conference.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/adbis2003/
Additionally, for each paper send the first page in ASCII (text-format) 
containing title,
authors, affiliation, contact information, abstract and keywords. Papers shall 
be submitted
to: adbis-jNDFPZUTrfR8lrfgSqwBwjucOR4XxTiv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

CONFERENCE VENUE
Dresden has been well-known for more than two hundred years as
"Florence on the Elbe". Its famous buildings include the Zwinger
Palace and Semper Gallery, the Semper Opera House, the Royal Palace
(now being rebuilt), the Green Vault, the Church of our Ladies (now
being rebuilt), the cathedral, numerous other churches and the castles
of Grillenburg, Pillnitz and Moritzburg, together with its museums,
theatres and orchestras. Apart from that, a good reason for young researchers
to come to Dresden are the many Student Clubs which make student life
especially attractive. The Elbe valley, running from the Bohemian border
to the region of Meissen, including the Saxon capital of Dresden, is one
of the most impressive landscapes in Germany with its peculiar sandstone
rock formations, its vineyards, its gardens, and historical buildings which
are well-known all over the world.
The buildings of the former University for Transport and Communications
"Friedrich List" is situated in the vicinity of the main train station of
Dresden. Since 1992, the HTW Dresden (FH) - University of Applied Sciences -
has been located there. Today, with 190 professors and over 4,900 students it
is the second largest university of the regional capital of Saxony.
