The previous workshop was held in Lithuania in 1994. The Baltic workshops are thought as an international forum for technical discussion among researchers and developers of database and information systems. The aim of the workshop is to consolidate views as well as to enhance communication between the database researchers and the community that uses database systems for building information systems. The objective of the workshop is to bring together researchers as well as practitioners and PhD students in the field of database research that will improve the construction of future information systems. On the other hand, the workshop 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 for database community. The word Baltic in the workshop title has twofold meaning: first, it indicates three Baltic States rapidly developing their infrastructure IS on the basis of advanced DB and IS technologies; second, it points to the Baltic Sea which does not only separate but also can join different countries as well as research communities in these countries to give them opportunities to exchange ideas and to trigger collaborations. STRUCTURE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST The workshop language is English (talks as well as publications). The workshop is planned to include two main tracks: traditional research track and advanced technology track. To activate and motivate PhD students the workshop programme will be preceeded by one-day Doctoral Consortium chaired by invited professors. RESEARCH TRACK Academic researchers are invited to submit extended abstracts describing their research activities. Major research topics for the workshop will include, but are not limited to: - Foundations of databases - Logic and databases - Object-oriented, deductive and active databases - Client-Server and open networked database systems - Distributed database techniques and interoperability - Information System modeling - Linguistic components of IS - Information System and Data Communication security - Knowledge Bases - Hypertext Interface for IS - Requirements Engineering for IS - Integrated IS - Information management economics TECHNOLOGY TRACK The purpose of the Technology Track is to provide opportunities for developers, users, and researchers to communicate and collaborate in advancing database applications and IS technologies. Solicited topics include novel application of databases or database technology in infrastructure settings. Actual case studies from practitioners emphasizing applications, database and IS technology, system deployment, or business impact are especially welcome. Developers are invited to submit extended abstracts describing their latest product innovations. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Database development tools - IS and AI Technologies - National information infrastructure development - Regional and national Infrastructure IS and database applications - Integrated and interoperable database technologies - Telecommunication databases - Multimedia database applications - Scientific Applications DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM June 11, 1996 The aim of the Doctoral Consortium is to offer an environment for Ph.D. students to present their current work and receive feedback from professors as well as from other Ph.D. students. The Doctoral Consortium is arranged as a part of the Second International Baltic Workshop on Databases and Information Systems (for more information look at the www page: http://greta.cs.ioc.ee/~balt96).

However, it is widely recognized that there exists a large class of applications for which the data modelling capabilities of relational systems are too limited. The current directions in database research and developments are towards object-oriented DBMSs, active knowledge-based management systems and multimedia databases. The third generation of post-relational database will require larger data sets, enhanced capabilities in data type, multimedia support, complex objects, rule processing and archival storage. The objective of this workshop is to investigate the trend of the recent database software in various paradigms. Relational database technology has dominated the database field for the past decade. The aim of this workshop is to bring together database practitioners, researchers and vendors to share and examine the requirements and new challenge of post-relational systems: object-oriented databases, knowledge-based databases and multimedia databases. Authors are invited to submit previous unpublished contributions. The papers, limited to 5000 words, will be carefully reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings available at the workshop. The workshop will accept no more than 200 attendants in order to foster an interactive atmosphere among participants. The program committee co-chairmen are: Professor David Maier Dr Joseph Fong Department of Computer Science and Engineering Computer Science Department Oregon Graduate Institute of Science & Technology City University of Hong Kong P.O.Box 91000 Portland, Oregon 97291-1000, USA Tat Chee Aven.,Hong Kong To contribute, please submit 3 copies of the full paper to Professor David Maier or Dr Joseph Fong.

Urban (D) Invited spaker: --------------- B.R. Badrinath (USA) Aims and Scope: --------------- The combination of network technologies for mobile data communication with portable end systems -- such as sub-notebooks, palmtops or PDAs -- is the technological base for realizing the vision of information access for `anyone, anytime, anywhere'. At the same time, global information systems such as the World-Wide Web begin to emerge in stationary network environments. The combination of both technologies holds the potential of a truly ubiquitous access to substantial parts of the human knowledge. However, the visualization of information on mobile end systems, especially in globally distributed scenarios, has to cope with the intrinsic limitations of mobile hardware and network technology, such as low and variable bandwidth or resource-poor end systems. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researches, developers and practitioners working in all facets of mobile and multimedia computing & networking. The workshop will serve as a forum for the dissemination of state-of-the-art research, development, and implementation of mobile visualization systems, technologies and applications. The topics discussed on this workshop include: - Data models for mobile information systems. - System services for mobile environments. - Data management on mobile systems. - Presentation and Interaction management for mobile information visualization. - Mobile applications.
