This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed short papers, workshops and Doctoral Consortium papers of the 20th East European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems, ADBIS 2016, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in August 2016. The 11 short papers and one historical paper were carefully selected and reviewed from 85 submissions. The rest of papers was selected from reviewing processes of 2 workshops and Doctoral Consortium. The papers are organized in topical sections on ADBIS Short Papers, Third International Workshop on Big Data Applications and Principles (BigDap 2016), Second International Workshop on Data Centered Smart Applications (DCSA 2016) and ADBIS Doctoral Consortium.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 20th East European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems, ADBIS 2016, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in August 2016. The 21 full papers presented together with two keynote papers and one keynote abstract were carefully selected and reviewed from 85 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections such as data quality, mining, analysis and clustering; model-driven engineering, conceptual modeling; data warehouse and multidimensional modeling, recommender systems; spatial and temporal data processing; distributed and parallel data processing; internet of things and sensor networks.

Focusing on the advancements in database technology, this book offers a comprehensive survey of entity-relationship (ER) modeling and its extensions. It explores integrated development and modeling of database applications, covering the specification of structures, behavior, and interactions. Additionally, it discusses techniques for translating the ER model into various classical database models, including relational, hierarchical, and object-oriented formats. This resource is valuable for both database theorists and practitioners seeking foundational knowledge in database modeling.

This book presents a coherent suvey on exciting developments in database semantics. The origins of the volume date back to a workshop held in Prague, Czech Republic, in 1995. The nine revised full papers and surveys presented were carefully reviewed for inclusion in the book. They address more traditional aspects like dealing with integrity constraints and conceptual modeling as well as new areas of databases; object-orientation, incomplete information, database transformations and other issues are investigated by applying formal semantics, e. g. the evolving algebra semantics.
