Preliminary Call for Papers

17th International Conference on
Database and Expert Systems Applications
DEXA 2006
http://www.dexa.org

September 4-8, 2006

The aim of DEXA 2006 is to present both research contributions in the area
of data base and intelligent systems and a large spectrum of already
implemented or just being developed applications. DEXA will offer the
opportunity to extensively discuss requirements, problems, and solutions
in the field. The workshop and conference should inspire a fruitful
dialogue between developers in practice, users of database and expert
systems, and scientists working in the field.

Paper Submission Details:
Authors are invited to submit original research contributions or
experience reports in English.
•	The submitted manuscript should closely reflect the final paper as it
will appear in the Proceedings.
•	Papers should not exceed 10 pages in LNCS format
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html)
•	Any submission that exceeds length limits or deviates from formatting
requirements may be rejected without review.
For paper registration and electronic submission see http://www.dexa.org
starting in December 2005.

Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.
Authors are requested to send the abstract of their paper to be received
by February 21, 2006, and to submit their paper electronically before
February 28, 2006.

Duplicate submissions are not allowed. A submission is considered to be a
duplicate submission if, at any time during the time when the submission
is under consideration, there is another paper with the following
properties:

1. the paper and the DEXA, DaWaK, EC-Web, TrustBus submission have at
least one author in common;
2. the paper is more than 4 pages long, when formatted in the DEXA format;
3. the main technical content of the paper substantially overlaps that of
the DEXA, DaWaK, EC-Web, TrustBus submission; and
4. the paper is published or under consideration for publication in a
refereed journal or proceedings (electronic or printed) that is generally
available (e.g., not limited to conference attendees).

Authors are expected to agree to the following terms: 
"I understand that the paper being submitted must not overlap
substantially with any other paper that I am a co-author of and that is
currently submitted elsewhere. Furthermore, previously published papers
with any overlap are covered prominently in this submission."

Duplicate submissions will be rejected. Questions about this policy or how
it applies to your work should be directed to the PC-chairs.
