This book constitutes the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Web Engineering, ICWE 2020, which was planned to take place in Helsinki, Finland, during June 9-12, 2020.

This book constitutes thoroughly reviewed and selected papers presented at Workshops and Doctoral Consortium of the 24th East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems, ADBIS 2020, the 24th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries, TPDL 2020, and the 16th Workshop on Business Intelligence and Big Data, EDA 2020, held in August 2020. Due to the COVID-19 the joint conference and satellite events were held online. The 26 full papers and 5 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 56 submissions. This volume presents the papers that have been accepted for the following satellite events: Workshop on Intelligent Data - From Data to Knowledge, DOING 2020; Workshop on Modern Approaches in Data Engineering and Information System Design, MADEISD 2020; Workshop on Scientic Knowledge Graphs, SKG 2020; Workshop of BI & Big Data Applications, BBIGAP 2020; International Symposium on Data-Driven Process Discovery and Analysis, SIMPDA 2020; International Workshop on Assessing Impact and Merit in Science, AIMinScience 2020; Doctoral Consortium.

Many applications depend on the effective acquisition of semantic metadata, and this state-of-the-art volume provides extensive coverage of the field of semantics acquisition games (SAGs). The authors also look at the SAGs from their design perspectives covering SAG design issues and existing patterns, including several novel patterns.

The 30th Anniversary Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer Science, SOFSEM 2004, took place during January 24-30, 2004, ' in the Hotel VZ M? e? rin, located about 60 km south of Prague on the right shore of Slapsk'ap? rehrada ("Slapy Dam") in the Czech Republic. Having transformed itself over the years from a local event to a fully internat- nal conference, the contemporary SOFSEM tries to keep the best of its winter school aspects (the high number of invited talks) together with multidiscip- narity trends in computer science - this year illustrated by the selection of the following 4 tracks: - Computer Science Theory (Track Chair: Peter Van Emde Boas) - Database Technologies (Track Chair: Jaroslav Pokorny) ' - Cognitive Technologies (Track Chair: Peter Sin? c' ak) ? - Web Technologies (Track Chair: Julius ' Stuller) Its aim was, as always, to promote cooperation among professionals from a- demia and industry working in various areas of computer science.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 31st Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer Science, SOFSEM 2004, held in Liptovsk� Jan, Slovakia in January 2005.The 28 revised full papers and 16 revised short papers presented together with 8 invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 144 submissions. The papers were organized in four topical tracks on foundations of computer science, modeling and searching data in the web area, software engineering, and graph drawing and discrete computational mathematics.

This book presents the proceedings of the 32nd Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer Science, held in Merin, Czech Republic. The 45 revised full papers, presented together with 10 invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 157 submissions. The papers were organized in four topical tracks on computer science foundations, wireless, mobile, ad hoc and sensor networks, database technologies, and semantic Web technologies.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 34th Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer Science, SOFSEM 2008, held in Slovakia, in 2008. The 57 revised full papers, presented together with 10 invited contributions, were carefully reviewed and selected from 162 submissions. The contributions are segmented into four topical sections on foundations of computer science; computing by nature; networks, security, and cryptography; and Web technologies.

Semantics in Adaptive and Personalised Services, initially strikes one as a specific and perhaps narrow domain. Yet, a closer examination of the term reveals much more. On one hand there is the issue of semantics. Nowadays, this most often refers to the use of OWL, RDF or some other XML based ontology description language in order to represent the entities of  problem. Still, semantics may also very well refer to the consideration of the meanings and concepts, rather than arithmetic measures, regardless of the representation used. On the other hand, there is the issue of adaptation, i.e. automated re-configuration based on some context. This could be the network and device context, the application context or the user context; we refer to the latter case as personalization. From a different perspective, there is the issue of the point of view from which to examine the topic. There is the point of view of tools, referring to the algorithms and software tools one can use, the point of view of the methods, referring to the abstract methodologies and best practices one can  follow, as well as the point of view of applications, referring to successful and pioneering case studies that lead the way in research and innovation. Or at least so we thought.Based on the above reasoning, the editors identified key researchers and practitioners in each of the aforementioned categories and invited them to contribute a corresponding work to this book. However, as the authors’ contributions started to arrive, the editors also started to realize that although these categories participate in each chapter to different degrees, none of them can ever be totally obsolete from them. Moreover, it seems that theory and methods are inherent in the development of tools and applications and inversely the application is also inherent in the motivation and presentation of tools and methods.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems, ADBIS 2011, held in Vienna, Austria, in September 2011. The 30 revised full papers presented together with 2 full length invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 105 submissions. They are organized in topical sections on query processing; data warehousing; DB systems; spatial data; information systems; physical DB design; evolution, integrity, security; and data semantics.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 38th Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer Science, SOFSEM 2012, held in Špindlerův Mlýn, Czech Republic, in January 2012. The 43 revised papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 121 submissions. The book also contains 11 invited talks, 10 of which are in full-paper length. The contributions are organized in topical sections named: foundations of computer science; software and Web engineering; cryptography, security, and verification; and artificial intelligence.

Nowadays, more and more users are witnessing the impact of Hypermedia/Multimedia as well as the penetration of social applications in their life. Parallel to the evolution of the Internet and Web, several Hypermedia/Multimedia schemes and technologies bring semantic-based intelligent, personalized and adaptive services to the end users. More and more techniques are applied in media systems in order to be user/group-centric, adapting to different content and context features of a single or a community user. In respect to all the above, researchers need to explore and study the plethora of challenges that emergent personalisation and adaptation technologies bring to the new era. This edited volume aims to increase the awareness of researchers in this area. All contributions provide an in-depth investigation on research and deployment issues, regarding already introduced schemes and applications in Semantic Hyper/Multimedia and Social Media Adaptation. Moreover, the authors provide survey-based articles, so as potential readers can use it for catching up the recent trends and applications in respect to the relevant literature. Finally, the authors discuss and present their approach in the respective field or problem addressed.
