The East European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information - stems (ADBIS) is the successor of the annual International Workshops with the same title that during 1993{1996 were organized in Russia by the Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter. Initiated in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1997, it con- nued in Poznan, Poland, in 1998 and in Maribor, Slovenia, in 1999. The ADBIS Conference became the premier database and information systems conference in Eastern Europe. It intended to increase interaction and collaboration b- ween researchers from the East and the West, and to provide an internationally recognized tribune for the presentation of research results. The International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Appli- tions (DASFAA) was rst held in Seoul, Korea, in 1989 to promote database research and development activities in Asian and Australasian countries. The Special Interest Group of Database Systems (SIGDBS) of the Information P- cessing Society of Japan (IPSJ) and the Special Interest Group of Data Base (SIGDB) of Korea Information Science Society (KISS) had important roles in the organization of DASFAA. Since that time the DASFAA has been held e- ry two years: Tokyo in 1991, Daejon in 1993, Singapore in 1995, Melbourne in 1997, and Taiwan in 1999. The DASFAA became one of the most prestigious international conferences ever held in Asia or Australasia.

The study reported in this paper is an ongoing effort. We reported a preliminary analysis of the data in the paper. The current experiments varied the subjects to c- duct online group learning activities by the communication media such as email and threaded discussion. Although, we could have easily learned the impact of mobile devices in learning if we divided the subjects to use different hardware such as p- sonal computers, personal digital assistant, or mobile phones, we believe our findings will still be able to provide useful insights on the difficulties that the mobile learners will face in solving problems as a group. Our analysis result will also provide ba- line information on whether the traits of the successful or failed online groups are applicable to the mobile learners. For example, we expect the SMS will be a better medium to overcome the major problem of instant communication or the rapid propagation of the information as the mobile phones have built-in mechanism to remind the users of the incoming new messages and also the mobile phone users are expected to be interrupted for the incoming messages. However, we need further investigation of other problems, which hinder the optimum online group work. For example, 'accuracy of the transferred information' was identified as one of the pr- lems of using emails as the communication medium. Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or SMS are more apt to deliver shorter messages than the typical emails.

This volume contains 29 submitted and 2 invited papers presented at the tenth East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADVIS 2003), which took place in Dresden, Germany, September 3-6, 2003. An international program committee of 42 members from 24 countries s- ected these contributions from 86 submissions. Eight additional contributions were selected as short papers and have been published in a separate volume of local proceedings by the organizing institution. For the ?rst time, ADBIS also included an industrial program consisting of nine submitted presentations by representatives of commercial companies active in the database market. ADBIS 2003 was the tenth scienti?c event taking place under the acronym ADBIS, and thus marks a ?rst "e;jubilee"e; for this young, but by now we- established,seriesofconferences. ADBISwasfoundedbytheMoscowACMSIG- MOD Chapter in 1993. In 1994-1996 ADBIS was held in the form of workshops organized by the MOSCOW ACM SIGMOD Chapter in collaboration with the RussianFoundationforBasicResearch. Inthisperiod,anumberofinternational guests were invited to Moscow every year in order to improve and consolidate contacts between the national research community in Russia and the research community worldwide. International program committees for ADBIS were es- blished in 1995, contributing to the quality of the selection process and thus of the conference contributions in general. In 1996, following discussions with Dr.

This book constitutes the workshop proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications, DASFAA 2014, held in Bali, Indonesia, in April 2014. The volume contains papers from 4 workshops, each focusing on hot topics related to database systems and applications: the Second International Workshop on Big Data Management and Analytics, BDMA 2014; the Third International Workshop on Data Management for Emerging Network Infrastructure, DaMEN 2014; the Third International Workshop on Spatial Information Modeling, Management and Mining, SIM³ 2014, and the DASFAA Workshop on Uncertain and Crowdsourced Data, UnCrowd 2014.

The three-volume set LNCS 12681-12683 constitutes the proceedings of the 26th International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications, DASFAA 2021, held in Taipei, Taiwan, in April 2021.The total of 156 papers presented in this three-volume set was carefully reviewed and selected from 490 submissions.The topic areas for the selected papers include information retrieval, search and recommendation techniques; RDF, knowledge graphs, semantic web, and knowledge management; and spatial, temporal, sequence, and streaming data management, while the dominant keywords are network, recommendation, graph, learning, and model. These topic areas and keywords shed the light on the direction where the research in DASFAA is moving towards.Due to the Corona pandemic this event was held virtually.

This book is a comprehensive presentation of entity-relationship (ER) modeling with regard to an integrated development and modeling of database applications.
