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 revised selected papers from the Second International Workshop on Modelling to Program, M2P 2020, held in Lappeenranta, Finland, in March 2020. The 10 papers presented were thoroughly reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. The papers provide a discussion on novel approaches to programming based on modelling approaches such as model-driven development (MDE, MDA, MDD) and conceptual-model programming and their future developments. The topics of the papers include notions of models that can be understood and used as programs, models-at-runtime, advanced conceptual modelling, conceptual-model programming, modelling foundation, transformation of models to programs, model suites/ensembles for programmers, modelling as the first step to programming and its revisions, advanced model-driven programming and software modernisation, modelling in applications.

Current IT developments like competent-based development and Web services have emerged as new effective ways of building complex enterprise systems and providing enterprise allocation integration. To aid this process, platforms like.Net and Websphere have become standards in web-based systems development. However, there is still much that needs to be researched before service-oriented software engineering (SOSE) becomes a prominent source for enterprise system development. Service-Oriented Software System Engineering: Challenges and Practices provides a comprehensive view of SOSE through a number of different perspectives. Some of those perspectives include; service concepts, modeling and documentation, service discovery and composition, model-driven development of service-oriented applications, and service-orientation in mobile settings. This book provides readers with an in-depth knowledge of the main challenges and practices in the exciting, new world of service-oriented software engineering. Addressing both technical and organizational aspects of this new field, this book offers a balance, making it valuable to a variety of readers including: software developers, managers, and analysts.
