This volume results from the four-day scientific Second
International East/West Database Workshop which took place
25th-28th September 1994, in Klagenfurt, Austria, continuing a
series of workshops started in Kiev in 1990 (Lecture Notes in
Computer Science No. 504, Springer, "Next Generation Information
System Technology"). The aims of this workshop are twofold: first,
to provide a forum for the presentation and in-depth discussion of
scientific achievements in the field of advanced databases that
will effectively improve the building and use of future information
systems; second, to establish and increase communication between
research communities which were formerly separated and, therefore,
had only rare opportunities to interact. It should establish
contacts between researchers from the East and from the West to
make exchange of ideas possible and to trigger collaborations.
However, it is not only political borders which change their
perviousness as a result of -or giving rise to -new autonomies or
new possibilities for interaction and collaboration. The same
happens with the borders between scientific areas, in particular in
the dynamically evolving areas of computer science. Databases and
programming languages are integrated in object oriented databases,
database and information retrieval technology form together the
basis for modern (multimedia) information systems. Furthermore, the
borders between different information systems change and allow
various forms of collaboration while maintaining different degrees
of autonomy. Heterogeneous and distributed databases are enabling
technologies for these systems.
