University of Linz, Austria, January 5, 2005 -- The aim of DEXA 2005 (http://www.dexa.org) 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. The conference will be held August 22 - August 26, 2005 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
