-------------------------------------------------------------- ADBIS 2014: DEADLINE EXTENDED New Deadline: April 14, 2014. (apologies for cross-postings) Due to multiple request, the deadline for submitting research papers to ADBIS 2014 is extended by two weeks. Given the timeline associated with reviews and publishers limits for the proceedings, please note that no further extensions are possible and April 14 is a firm deadline. -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Aims and Scope -------------------------------------------------------------- ADBIS conferences aim to provide an international forum where researchers and practitioners in the fields of databases and information system, database theory, development of advanced DBMS technologies, and their advanced applications can interact, exchange ideas and disseminate their accomplishments and visions. Inaugurated 18 years ago, ADBIS originally included communities from Central and Eastern Europe, however, throughout its lifetime it has spread and grown to include participants from many other countries throughout the world. The ADBIS 2014 conference will be held in Ohrid ("European Jerusalem"), September 7-10, 2014 and will continue the tradition by fostering the growth and providing a platform for researchers and practitioners to present their result. Organizer of the conference is FCSE – Faculty of Computer Sciences and Engineering (http://www.finki.ukim.mk) at Ss Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje and ICT-ACT association (http://www.ict-act.org). The conference will consist of regular sessions with technical contributions (regular papers, short papers) 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. Doctoral consortium and different workshops will be held in line with the main conference. -------------------------------------------------------------- Invited Speakers -------------------------------------------------------------- - Maarten de Rijke, Professor of Information Processing and Internet in the Informatics Institute, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands, http://staff.science.uva.nl/~mdr/Bio/ - Joao Gama, Professor at the Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Decision Support INESC-Porto, University of Porto, Portugal, http://www.liaad.up.pt/area/jgama/ - Minos Garofalakis, Professor of Computer Science at the School of ECE Technical University of Crete in Chania, Greece / Director of the Software Technology and Network Applications Laboratory (SoftNet), http://www.ece.tuc.gr/4559.html -------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates -------------------------------------------------------------- Main conference ---------------------- Paper submissions: Mar. 30, 2014 (extended to Apr. 14) Acceptance: May 18, 2014 (extended to May 25) Camera-ready: Jun. 15, 2014 Conference: Sep. 7-10, 2014 Workshop, panels, tutorials --------------------------------- Proposal submissions: Jan. 26, 2014 Acceptance: Jan. 31, 2014 Camera-ready: Jun. 15, 2014 Workshops: Sep. 07, 2014 PhD Consortium --------------------- Application submiss.: Mar. 30, 2014 Acceptance: May 18, 2014 Camera-ready: Jun. 15, 2014 PhD Consortium: Sep. 07, 2014 -------------------------------------------------------------- Accepted Workshops -------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop on GPUs In Databases GID 2014 -------------------------------------------------------------- Chairs: Witold Andrzejewski, Assistant profesor at the Poznan University of Technology in Poznan.

Ohrid is the largest city on Lake Ohrid at an elevation of 690m above the sea level. It is located 160 km south-west from the capital Skopje, and 80 km from the border with Greece. Nowadays predominantly tourist and congress town, Ohrid is sometimes called Jerusalem of the Balkans and has a notable legend for once having had 365 churches, one for each day of the year. The city is rich in picturesque houses and monuments. In 1979 and 1980, Ohrid and Lake Ohrid were accepted as Cultural and Natural World Heritage Sites by UNESCO (http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/99). In fact, Ohrid is one of only 28 sites that are part of UNESCO's World Heritage that are both Cultural and Natural sites. The shores of Lake Ohrid have been inhabited since prehistoric times (archaeologists speak of settlements from the Neolithic period – 6.000 years B.C. the Iron age (golden funeral masks from VI and V century BC). From the Hellenic and Roman period the settlement is known as Lychnidos (meaning Light giving), located along the Via Egnatia, at the times during which, among others, the amphitheatre in II century BC was built. Archaeological excavations demonstrate rather early adoption of Christianity, and establishment of Lychnidos Episcopacy, while medieval period adds signs of numerous Balkan rulers. Lake Ohrid, with mountain peaks of over 2.000m besides it's shores, is one of Europe's deepest and oldest lakes, preserving a unique aquatic ecosystem that is of worldwide importance, with more than 200 endemic species. -------------------------------------------------------------- Conference Venue -------------------------------------------------------------- The conference will take place at the Metropol Lake Resort, a complex of three hotels (Metropol, Bellevue and Tourist) located 6 km south of Ohrid. Pre-reservation of rooms for ADBIS 2014 participants were made at the resort. Besides access to the beach, the Metropol resort hotels offer many possibilities for outdoor activites (swimming pools, tennis and basketball courts).
