Objective

The Baltic conference on databases and information systems is thought as an international forum for technical discussion among researchers and developers of database and information systems. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers as well as practitioners and PhD students in the field of computing research that will improve the construction of future information systems. On the other hand, the conference is giving opportunities to developers, users and researchers of advanced IS technologies to present their work and to exchange their ideas and at the same time providing a feedback to database community.

This conference is continuing a series of successful bi-annual Baltic workshops on databases and information systems that have been held in Trakai (1994), Tallinn (1996, 2002), Riga (1998), and Vilnius (2000).

The conference will share some sessions and other events with the 16th Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering CAiSE.2004, June 7-11, also in Riga, Latvia.

The conference language is English (talks as well as publications). The conference is planned to include two main tracks: traditional research track and advanced application track. To activate and motivate PhD students the conference program will include Doctoral Consortium chaired by invited professors.
