21st European Conference on Advances in Databases
and Information Systems

Hilton Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus

24 - 27 September, 2017

http://cyprusconferences.org/adbis2017/


The internationally recognized ADBIS conference already for 21 years is
gathering researchers and practitioners around topics related to databases,
data processing, and information systems, in general. The conference is run
in Europe but attracts researchers from all over the world. The 21st ADBIS
conference will be held in Nicosia, Cyprus. The conference is accompanied
by satellite events, including PhD consortia and workshops.


WORKSHOPS

Typically, workshops focus on multiple topics related to data storage and
processing. This year we would encourage also workshops focusing on
practical applications of research in business/industry and on joint projects
run by industry and research entitites.

The list of workshop topics is not limited to the aforementioned and we
encourage representatives of research and business to submit workshop
proposals promoting their achievements.
