The annual international conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA) is now well established as a reference scientific event. The reader will find in this volume a collection of scientific papers that represent the state of the art of research in the domain of data, information and knowledge management, intelligent systems, and their applications. The 17th instance of the series of DEXA conferences was held at the Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Cracow College in Krakow, Poland, during September 4-8, 2006. Several collocated conferences and workshops covered specialized and...

This text constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications, DEXA 2000, held in London in September 2000. The 92 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 183 submissions. The book offers topical sections on object-oriented and relational databases, multimedia databases, fundamentals, workflow management systems, database security, XML, advanced databases, queries, knowledge-based systems, data warehouses, database design and analysis, data mining and...

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...
