This volume contains papers presented at the 2nd International East/West Database Workshop, held in Klagenfurt, Austria, from 25-28 September 1994. The theme of the workshop was the breaking down of borders - both political, by bringing together researchers from the East and West - and scientific. Among the specific topics covered are: information engineering; data models and database standards; applications and interfaces; query optimization; and security. The papers present important new results in many areas of database research, and will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students involved in all aspects of this field.

The 9th East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems was held on September 12–15, 2005, in Tallinn, Estonia. It was organized in a cooperation between the Institute of Cybernetics at Tallinn University of Technology, the Department of Computer Engineering of Tallinn University of Technology, and the Moscow chapter of ACM SIGMOD. The main objective of the ADBIS series of conferences is to provide a - rum for the disseminationof excellent researchaccomplishmentsand to promote interaction and collaboration between the Database and Information Systems research communities from Central and East European countries and the rest of the world. The ADBIS conferences provide an international platform for the presentationofresearchondatabasetheory,thedevelopmentofadvancedDBMS technologies, and their advanced applications in particular in information s- tems. The 2005 conference continued the ADBIS conferences held in St. Pete- burg (1997), Poznan (1998), Maribor (1999), Prague (2000), Vilnius (2001), Bratislava (2002), Dresden (2003), and Budapest (2004). The conference c- sisted of regular sessions with technical contributions reviewed and selected by an international Program Committee, as well as of invited talks and tutorials given by leading scientists. For the ?rst time the ADBIS conferences had a satellite event, a workshop on data mining and knowledge discovery. The ADMKD 2005 workshop,with its own international ProgramCommittee as well as proceedings, servedas a forum toencourageresearchersandpractitionerstodiscussandinvestigatedatamining research and implementation issues, and to share experience in developing and deploying data mining systems.

BPM 2006 was the fourth in a conference series that provides a forum for - searchers and practitioners in all areas of business process management. In c- junction with BPM 2006, a series of workshops were held. They were meant to facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences between active researchers, and to stimulate discussions on new and emerging topics in line with the conference topics. We see the workshops as a necessary extension to the main conference. BPM has established itself rapidly as a high quality conference with a highly competitive selection process. The following workshops were approved and - cepted for inclusion in the BPM 2006 program: – BPD 2006 – 2nd International Workshop on Business Process Design – BPI 2006 – 2nd International Workshop on Business Process Intelligence – ENEI 2006 – 2nd International Workshop on Enterprise and Networked - terprises Interoperability – GPWW 2006 – 2nd InternationalWorkshopon Grid and Peer-to-Peerbased Work?ows – DPM 2006 – International Workshop on Dynamic Process Management – semantics4ws 2006 – Advances in Semantics for Web Services The program of each of these workshops was developed by a separate d- icated organization team and program committee. In summary the respective calls for papers attracted a total of 94 submissions out of which 40 papers were selected for presentation and are included in this volume. The organization of these workshops was made possible by the voluntary dedicated e?orts of many individuals.

Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery have been widely accepted as key te- nologies for enterprises and organizations to improve their abilities in data analysis, decision support, and the automatic extraction of knowledge from data. With the exponentially growing amount of information to be included in the decision-making process, the data to be processed become more and more complex in both structure and semantics. Consequently, the process of retrieval and knowledge discovery from this huge amount of heterogeneous complex data constitutes the reality check for research in the area. During the past few years, the International Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery (DaWaK) has become one of the most important international scientific events bringing together researchers, developers and practitioners. The DaWaK conferences served as a prominent forum for discussing latest research issues and experiences in developing and deploying data warehousing and knowledge d- covery systems, applications, and solutions. This year’s conference, the Ninth Inter- tional Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery (DaWaK 2007), built on this tradition of facilitating the cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas, expe- ence and potential research directions. DaWaK 2007 sought to disseminate innovative principles, methods, algorithms and solutions to challenging problems faced in the development of data warehousing, knowledge discovery and data mining applications.

This volume contains papers from the Second International Workshop on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS '95), which was held in Moscow, during 27-30 June 1995.

The BPM (Business Process Management) Conference series has the ambition to be the premier forum for researchersin the area of process-awareinformation systems.It has a recordfor attracting contributions in innovative researchofthe highest quality related to all aspects of business process management including theory, frameworks, methods, techniques, architectures, and empirical ?ndings. BPM 2009 was the 7th instantiation of this series. It took place in Ulm, G- many, September 8–10, 2009, organized by the Institute of Databases and Inf- mation Systems of the University of Ulm. This volume contains 17 contributed research papers and two contributed industrial papers selected from 116 s- missions from 31 countries. The thorough reviewing process—each paper was reviewed by three to ?ve Program Committee members—was extremely c- petitive as the acceptance rate of 16% indicates. In addition to the contributed papers, these proceedings contain two papers and an outline documenting the invited keynote talks. Furthermore, a report is included on the collaboration structure in BPM research derived from an analysis of papers accepted for all past BPM conferences. In conjunction with the main conference, nine international workshops took place the day before the conference. These workshops fostered the exchange of fresh ideas and experiences between active BPM researchers, and stimulated discussions on new and emerging issues in line with the conference topics. The proceedings with the papers of all workshops will be published in a separate volume of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing series.

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 of Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems highlights some of the major challenges emerging from the biomedical applications that are currently inspiring and promoting database research. These include the management, organization, and integration of massive amounts of heterogeneous data; the semantic gap between high-level research questions and low-level data; and privacy and efficiency. The contributions cover a large variety of biological and medical applications, including genome-wide association studies, epidemic research, and neuroscience.
