Dutch-Belgian DataBase Day 2015

Introduction

The Dutch-Belgian DataBase Day (DBDBD) is a yearly one-day workshop organized in a Belgian or Dutch university, whose general topic is database research. DBDBD invites submissions (1 page abstract) on a broad range of database and database-related topics, including but not limited to data storage and management, theoretical database issues, database performance, data mining, information retrieval, data semantics, querying, ontologies etc. Based on the submissions, the workshop will be organized in different sessions each covering a particular topic.

At DBDBD, junior researchers from the Netherlands and Belgium can present their recent results, and meet senior researchers in the field of databases. It is an excellent opportunity to meet up with your Belgian/Dutch colleagues, and to get informed about the (recent) database-related research performed in Belgian/Dutch universities. The workshop is also open to non-Belgian/Dutch participants (presentations are in English). The workshop consists of oral presentations. There are no printed proceedings. Abstracts of talks will be published on the workshop's website.

Topics of Interest

We welcome submissions on all topics related to database research, including but not limited to:

• Data storage and management, streaming data, peer-to-peer and cloud;
• Theoretical database issues, data models, semantics and languages;
• Database performance and scalability;
• Data integration, data quality, data cleaning, ontologies;
• Data mining, clustering, summarization, entity & event extraction;
• Data security, privacy and personalization;
• Information retrieval, data semantics, querying and ranking in databases;
• Big Data & Data Science.

Submission

DBDBD has a tradition of favouring presentations by junior researchers. Proposals for presentations should be made before or on November 27, 2015. Each submission should contain:

• the title of the talk;
• the name of the prospective speaker;
• his/her affiliation;
• a one-page abstract;
• reference(s) to papers covered by the proposed presentation (if pertinent).
