Written by internationally recognized authorities in the database field, this book delivers a thorough discussion of the foundations of the relational model of database design along with a systematic treatment of the formal theory for the model.

This volume features the top papers from the 12th East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS 2008), held from September 5–9, 2008, in Pori, Finland. ADBIS is the successor to annual international workshops organized in Russia by the Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter from 1993 to 1996. The conference series has a rich history, having taken place in various locations including St. Petersburg, Poznan, Maribor, Prague, Vilnius, Bratislava, Dresden, Budapest, Tallinn, Thessaloniki, and Varna. The event is overseen by an international Steering Committee chaired by Professor Leonid Kalinichenko and has established a strong reputation as a premier scientific gathering showcasing research in databases and information systems. ADBIS 2008 aimed to facilitate knowledge transfer from experienced researchers to young scholars at pre- or post-doctoral levels and foster collaboration between European research communities, particularly from Central and Eastern Europe, and the global research landscape. The conference promotes networking among participants, especially those from Member States and Associated States, encouraging collaboration among researchers active outside their home countries.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to welcome you to the proccedings of the 23rd International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2004). This conference provided an international forum for technical discussion on conceptual modeling of information systems among researchers, developers and users. This was the third time that this conference was held in Asia; the ?rst time was in Singapore in 1998 and the second time was in Yokohama, Japan in 2001. China is the third largest nation with the largest population in the world. Shanghai, the largest city in China and a great metropolis, famous in Asia and throughout the world, is therefore a most appropriate location to host this conference. This volume contains papers selected for presentation and includes the two keynote talks by Prof. Hector Garcia-Molina and Prof. Gerhard Weikum, and an invited talk by Dr. Xiao Ji. This volume also contains industrial papers and demo/poster papers. An additional volume contains papers from 6 workshops. The conference also featured three (1) Web Change Management andDelta Opportunities andSolutions,by SanjayMadria,(2)A Survey of Data Quality Issues in Cooperative Information Systems, by Carlo Batini, and (3) Visual SQL – An ER-Based Introduction to Database Programming,by Bernhard Thalheim.

This volume is based on the contributions to the International Workshop on the Web and Databases (WebDB’98), held in Valencia, Spain, March 27 and 28, 1998, in conjunction with the Sixth International Conference on Extending Database Technology (EDBT’98). In response to the workshop call for papers, 37 manuscripts were submitted to the program committee. The review process was conducted entirely by- mail. While the quality of submissions was generally high, only 16 papers could be accepted for presentation within the limited time allowed by the workshop schedule. Authors of workshop papers were invited to submit extended versions oftheirpapersforpublicationinthesepost-workshopproceedings. The13papers appearing in this volume were submitted and selected after a second round of reviews. We would like to thank the program committee of WebDB’98, all those who submitted their work, all additional reviewers, and the conference o? cials of EBDT’98 for their invaluable support. Special thanks go to Paolo Merialdo, who actively participated in the organization of the workshop.

This booklet contains abstracts of the papers from Database Programming Languages, Gubbio 1995. The full papers are available on our World Wide Web site. To access the full papers you must have a copy of this booklet which contains the passwords you need.
