=================================================================

The Dutch Belgian Database Day (DBDBD) is a yearly one-day workshop
organized by a Belgian or Dutch university, whose general topic is
database research. DBDBD invites submissions (1 page abstract) on a
broad range of database and database-related topics, including but
not limited to data storage and management, theoretical database
issues, database performance, data integration, data mining, data
security, and data search.

At the DBDBD, junior researchers from the Netherlands and Belgium
can present their recent results, and meet senior researchers in
the field of databases. It is an excellent opportunity to meet up
with your Belgian/Dutch colleagues, and to get informed about the
(recent) database-related research performed in Belgian/Dutch
universities. The workshop is also open to non-Belgian/Dutch
participants (presentations are in English). The workshop consists
of oral presentations. There are no printed proceedings. Abstracts
of talks will be published on the workshop?s website.
