Welcome to the Web site of the EDBT Association (edbt.org)
The EDBT Association is a non-political and non-profit organization
for promoting and supporting research and progress in the fields of
databases and information systems technology and applications. It was
formed in 1990 to provide a stable structure to support the continuity
of the EDBT Conference series; it changed its legal status in 1995,
assuming the current legal form of an association according to
Italian laws.
Our major activity is the promotion of the International Conference on
Extending Database Technology (EDBT), which has been held every two
years since 1988. The Conference Proceedings have been published by
Springer-Verlag as part of the
LNCS Series in the past. We have
also promoted a series of Summer Schools, started in 1991.
Since the year 2008, the new Conference Proceedings are available as Open Access pubklications
from the ACM Digital Library (part of the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series, AICPS, from their server in the U.S., you need to register at no cost), and copies are also located on this EDBT.org server in Germany. The Association as well as the user community are grateful to ACM for offering this service.
The EDBT Association has close relationships with other organizations
in the database field, including
ACM SIGMOD,
IEEE TC on Data
Engineering,
VLDB Endowment,
and the
ICDT Council.
