Information Systems Development: Business Systems and Services: Modeling and Development, is the collected proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Information Systems Development held in Prague, Czech Republic, August 25 - 27, 2010.

This book reports on state-of-art research and applications in the field of databases and information systems. It includes both fourteen selected short contributions, presented at the East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS 2013, September 1-4, Genova, Italy), and twenty-six papers from ADBIS 2013 satellite events. The short contributions from the main conference are collected in the first part of the book, which covers a wide range of topics, like data management, similarity searches, spatio-temporal and social network data, data mining, data warehousing, and data management on novel architectures, such as graphics processing units, parallel database management systems, cloud and MapReduce environments. In contrast, the contributions from the satellite events are organized in five different parts, according to their respective ADBIS satellite event: BiDaTA 2013 - Special Session on Big Data: New Trends and Applications); GID 2013 – The Second International Workshop on GPUs in Databases; OAIS 2013 – The Second International Workshop on Ontologies Meet Advanced Information Systems; SoBI 2013 – The First International Workshop on Social Business Intelligence: Integrating Social Content in Decision Making; and last but not least, the Doctoral Consortium, a forum for Ph.D. students. The book, which addresses academics and professionals alike, provides the readers with a comprehensive and timely overview of new trends in database and information systems research, and promotes new ideas and collaborations among the different research communities of the eastern European countries and the rest of the world.

This volume presents the refereed proceedings of the East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems and of the International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications, ADBIS-DASFAA 2000, held jointly in Prague, Czech Republic in September 2000. The 27 revised papers presented together with one invited paper and the abstract of an invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 115 submissions. The papers present new results on a variety of current issues in database research and design with a certain emphasis on advanced applications in various fields.

This volume contains the invited and contributed papers selected for presen- tion at SOFSEM 2010, the 36th Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practiceof Computer Science, held January23-29,2010 in the Hotel Bed? richov, ? Spindler? uv Mlyn, ' of the Krkono? se Mountains of the Czech Republic. SOFSEM(originally:SOFtwareSEMinar)isdevotedtoleadingresearch,and fosters the cooperation among researchers and professionals from academia and industry in all areas of computer science. As a well-established and fully int- national conference, SOFSEM maintains the best of its original Winter School aspects,suchasa highnumber of invitedtalksandanin-depth coverageofnovel research results in selected areas within computer science. SOFSEM 2010 was organized around the following four tracks: - Foundations of Computer Science (Chairs: David Peleg, Anca Muscholl) - Principles of Software Construction (Chair: Bernhard Rumpe) - Data, Knowledge, and Intelligent Systems (Chair: Jaroslav Pokorn' y) - Web Science (Chair: Jan van Leeuwen) With these tracks, SOFSEM 2010 covered the latest advances in research, both theoretical and applied, in leading areas of computer science.The SOFSEM 2010 Program Committee consisted of 78 international experts from 20 di?erent countries, representing the track areas with outstanding expertise. An integral part of SOFSEM 2010 was the traditional Student Research - rum (SRF, Chair: Ma 'ria Bielikov' a), organized with the aim to present student projects in the theory and practice of computer science and to give students feedback on both the originality of their scienti?c results and on their work in progress.

The Third International Conference on Intelligent Human Computer Interaction 2011 (IHCI 2011) was held at Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic from August 29 - August 31, 2011. This conference was third in the series, following IHCI 2009 and IHCI 2010 held in January at IIIT Allahabad, India.Human computer interaction is a fast growing research area and an attractive subject of interest for both academia and industry. There are many interesting and challenging topics that need to be researched and discussed. This book aims to provide excellent opportunities for the dissemination of interesting new research and discussion about presented topics. It can be useful for researchers working on various aspects of human computer interaction. Topics covered in this book include user interface and interaction, theoretical background and applications of HCI and also data mining and knowledge discovery as a support of HCI applications.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 17th East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems, ADBIS 2013, held in Genoa, Italy, in September 2013. The 26 revised full papers presented together with three invited papers were carefully selected and reviewed from 92 submissions.

The LNCS journal Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems focuses on data management, knowledge discovery, and knowledge processing, which are core and hot topics in computer science. Since the 1990s, the Internet has become the main driving force behind application development in all domains. An increase in the demand for resource sharing across different sites connected through networks has led to an evolution of data- and knowledge-management systems from centralized systems to decentralized systems enabling large-scale distributed applications providing high scalability. Current decentralized systems still focus on data and knowledge as their main resource. Feasibility of these systems relies basically on P2P (peer-to-peer) techniques and the support of agent systems with scaling and decentralized control. Synergy between grids, P2P systems, and agent technologies is the key to data- and knowledge-centered systems in large-scale environments. This special issue contains extended and revised versions of 4 papers, selected from the 25 papers presented at the satellite events associated with the 17th East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS 2013), held on September 1-4, 2013 in Genoa, Italy. The three satellite events were GID 2013, the Second International Workshop on GPUs in Databases; SoBI 2013, the First International Workshop on Social Business Intelligence: Integrating Social Content in Decision Making; and OAIS 2013, the Second International Workshop on Ontologies Meet Advanced Information Systems. The papers cover various topics in large-scale data and knowledge-centered systems, including GPU-accelerated database systems and GPU-based compression for large time series databases, design of parallel data warehouses, and schema matching. The special issue content, which combines both theoretical and application-based contributions, gives a useful overview of some of the current trends in large-scale data and knowledge management and will stimulate new ideas for further research and development within both the scientific and industrial communities.
