Preface
This volume contains workshop papers, long versions of several challenges papers,
and one invited paper from the 14th East-European Conference on Advances in
Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS 2010), held during September 20–24,
2010, in Novi Sad, Serbia.
ADBIS 2010 continues the ADBIS series held in St. Petersburg (1997), Poz-
nan (1998), Maribor (1999), Prague (2000), Vilnius (2001), Bratislava (2002),
Dresden (2003), Budapest (2004), Tallinn (2005), Thessaloniki (2006), Varna
(2007), Pori (2008), and Riga (2009).
The main objective of the ADBIS series of conferences is to provide a fo-
rum for the dissemination of research accomplishments and promote interaction
and collaboration between the database and information systems research com-
munities from Central and East European countries and the rest of the world.
ADBIS conferences provide an international platform for the presentation of re-
search on database theory, development of advanced DBMS technologies, and
their advanced applications.
ADBIS 2010 spans a wide area of interests, covering all major aspects related
to theory and applications of database technology and information systems. Two
different submission lines have been considered for ADBIS 2010, one within
the classical way and another one within a special track organization. ADBIS
attracted 5 tracks:
1. Conceptual Modeling in Systems Engineering (CMSE);
2. Data Mining and Information Extraction (DMIE);
3. Business Processes in E-Commerce Systems (e-commerce);
4. Personal Identifiable Information: Privacy, Ethics, and Security (PIIPES);
5. Warehousing and OLAPing Complex, Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Data
(WOCD).
In total, the conference attracted 165 paper submissions from Algeria, Ar-
menia, Australia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada,
Chile, China, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, In-
dia, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Lithuania, FYR Macedonia, Malaysia, New Zealand,
Nigeria, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slo-
vakia, Spain, Sweden, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, and United States of America.
In a rigorous reviewing process, 36 papers have been selected as long contribu-
tions for inclusion into the main conference proceedings published by Springer
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (vol. 6295), and oral presenta-
tion at the conference. Moreover, 14 papers were selected as short contributions
(challenges papers), to be presented by posters. All papers have been evaluated
by at least three reviewers. The selected papers span a wide spectrum of top-
ics in the database and information systems field, including database theory,
database management system architectures, design methods, data mining and
data warehousing, spatial, temporal, and moving objects, database applications.
The larger part of this volume is devoted to papers from two ADBIS 2010
workshops: Querying Graph Structured Data (GraphQ), co-chaired by Federica
Mandreoli, Riccardo Martoglia and Wilma Penzo, and Model Driven Approaches
in System Development (MDASD), co-chaired by Ivan Luković and Sonja Ristić.
In addition, this volume includes long versions of four ADBIS 2010 challenges
papers, and one invited paper.
We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of ADBIS
2010. We thank the authors, who submitted papers to the conference and the
workshops. Special thanks is due to the tracks co-chairs, to the main conference
and tracks Program Committee members, to the MDASD and GraphQ workshop
co-chairs and Program Committee members, as well as to the external review-
ers, for their support in evaluating the papers submitted to ADBIS 2010 and the
workshops, ensuring high quality of the scientific program. Our gratitude goes
out to all members of the local organizing team in Novi Sad, for giving their
time and expertise to ensure the success of the conference, and especially Miloš
Radovanović, Doni Pracner and Marija Veselinović for helping to prepare this
local proceedings volume and the conference program booklet for publication.
We also thank the Springer publishing house for publishing the main conference
proceedings containing invited and research papers in the LNCS series. The Pro-
gram Committee work relied on MuCoMS, which proved to be a very convenient
tool for this kind of work, so that we are also grateful to the MuCoMS develop-
ment team and to its leader, Markus Kirchberg. Finally, we thank the Steering
Committee and, in particular, its Chair, Leonid Kalinichenko, for their help and
guidance. Last, but not least, we thank the participants of ADBIS 2010 for hav-
ing made our work useful.
