* Conference Background and Goals
The IADIS Database Systems 2005 conference addresses several themes within
the databases' area.

* Conference Concept
This conference has a unique concept: it is a scientific conference hosted
virtually. This means that the quality of a scientific conference (with
the peer reviewed submissions, the publication in a book and CD with ISBN,
the possibility of best papers being considered for publication as
extended versions in journals) comes together with the benefit of being at
your office or at home and taking part in it at any time during its three
week duration. You choose which sessions to attend from the conference
themes offered and you can tailor your best schedule.

* Format of the Conference
The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The
proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book. The
best paper authors will be invited to publish extended versions of their
papers in selected Journals.

* Types of Submissions
Full and Short Papers, Posters/Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and
Doctoral Consortium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing
process.
