Dutch-Belgian Database Day

Brussels, Belgium (online)
Friday, 11 December 2020

Empty Grand Place - Brussels

Overview

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 2020 will be held in Brussels, Belgium online. Due to the cooperation between SIKS and the local organisation of DBDBD, registration for SIKS-members is free.

At DBDBD 2020, junior and senior researchers from the Netherlands and Belgium can present their recent results, and meet senior researchers in the field of data management. 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 welcomes non-Belgian/Dutch participants (presentations are in English).

The workshop consists of oral and poster presentations. There are no printed proceedings. Abstracts of oral and poster presentations will be published on the DBDBD 2020 website.

We invite 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. See the submission guidelines for further details.

This year, DBDBD is organized by the Software Languages Lab of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. The local organizer is Bas Ketsman.
