Dear Colleague,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to submit a paper to the 12th 
International Conference Beyond Databases, Architectures and Structures 
(BDAS 2016) technically co-sponsored by IEEE. The conference will be 
held on 31 May - 03 June 2016 in Mulfon Hotel in Ustron, Poland.

Databases are present in almost every IT system and collect data 
describing many areas of human life and activity. Collecting and 
processing an increasing number of data makes it necessary to use 
computer architectures and data structures providing high performance 
and high availability of database systems. Moreover, a vast majority of 
data require appropriate processing and searching algorithms in order to 
make the data readable for users and to discover the knowledge that is 
hidden inside the data.

Beyond Databases, Architectures and Structures (BDAS) is a series of 
conferences that intends to give the state-of-the-art of the research 
that satisfies the needs of modern, widely understood database systems, 
architectures, models, structures, and algorithms focused on processing 
various types of data. The aim of the conference is to reflect the most 
recent developments of databases and allied techniques used for solving 
problems in a variety of areas related to database systems, or even go 
one step forward - beyond the horizon of existing databases, 
architectures and data structures.

- Object-oriented databases
- Catalog databases
- Temporal and spatial databases
- Mobile databases
- XML and semi-structured data

Designing, formal models and database usage
- Query languages and optimization
- Metadata management
- Data management in cloud computing
- UML in designing databases
- Performance of data processing
- Protocols, security and control of data integrity

Algorithms, data exploration and knowledge bases
- Knowledge bases
- Expert systems and artificial intelligence
- Data mining and knowledge discovery
- Data extraction and data integration
- Image and music processing
- Fuzzy sets and rough sets
- Ontologies
- Multi-agent systems
- Social networks

Database systems and applications
- Databases in the Web
- Databases in management and production (MRPII/ERP/PLM)
- Business Intelligence
- Databases in bioinformatics and biomedicine
- Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
- New applications, systems and usage areas

Paper Submission
