The workshop aims to promote communication between researchers from German-speaking countries working on databases and information systems. It is especially intended as a forum for young researchers who want to present their current work in a larger forum. In contrast to the often anonymous atmosphere of large conferences, the workshop allows for much more intensive contact with the other participants and thus offers an ideal setting for open and stimulating discussions. Young scientists in particular benefit from this intensive exchange.

We welcome basic and application-oriented contributions in the entire subject area of databases and information systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Adaptive systems and personalization
  • Big data and cloud data management
  • Collaborative data management and data analysis
  • Databases on modern hardware
  • Database benchmarking and performance tuning
  • Data integration, information extraction and schema matching
  • Data warehousing, OLAP, data mining and knowledge discovery
  • Data modeling and data provenance
  • Data visualisation and data representation
  • E-Commerce, M-Commerce and database systems
  • Energy aware databases
  • Graph databases
  • Geographic information systems
  • In-memory databases
  • Linked open data
  • Metadata management
  • Mobile computing and databases
  • Multimedia database systems and information retrieval
  • NoSQL databases
  • Parallel and distributed data management
  • Query processing, indexing and optimization
  • Real-time database systems
  • Recommendation systems
  • Replication, caching, materialized views
  • Security and privacy
  • Scientific data management
  • Spatial and temporal databases
  • Streaming data
  • Similarity queries
  • Transactions processing, consistency and recovery
  • Uncertain, probabilistic and approximate databases
  • Unstructured and semi-structured data

Submission instructions

Authors are invited to submit papers of at most 6 double column pages in PDF format (including references) via OpenConf. All papers will be peer-reviewed. The papers must be written in English.

Proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication. Therefore, all authors must follow CEURART style. An Overleaf template and a template for non-LaTeX users are available.

CEURART style - list of standards and common mistakes:

Paper:

  • Use SENTENCE CASE for all references of your submission’s title (e.g., in the camera-ready, and in the author agreement form). Explanation is available at https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/capitalization/sentence-case
  • Adjust the footnote of the CEUR-ART template to show the correct copyright year (2024) and event name “35th GI-Workshop on Foundations of Databases (Grundlagen von Datenbanken), May 22-24, 2024, Herdecke, Germany”
  • Do not modify the template regarding font, size, style, spacing, alignment, indentation, and others (e.g., the word “Abstract” not being bold, or the author’s surname in grey)
  • Make sure to use sections correctly (e.g., do not present “Acknowledgements” as a footnote)
  • Check that figures are readable
  • Avoid inconsistent style of reference to elements (e.g., “Fig. 1” alongside “figure 1”, “Figure 1”, or “Table 1”). Use the fully spelled term (e.g., “Figure 1”)

Author Agreement:

  • Make sure that you fill in all fields of the author agreement, that is the contribution name (title), the authors’ names, the corresponding author’s details, the name of the event, the name of the editors, and your signature with location and date.
  • ONLY sign your author agreement by hand. If you don’t have access to a scanner, follow the instructions available at https://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html#AUTHORAGREEMENT
