Call for Papers, Workshop Fundamentals of Databases, Regensburg, 2025

The Aim and Philosophy of the Workshop

The workshop aims to promote communication between researchers from German-speaking countries working on databases and information systems. It is especially intended as a forum for young researchers who want to present their current work in a larger forum. In contrast to the often anonymous atmosphere of large conferences, the workshop allows for much more intensive contact with the other participants and thus offers an ideal setting for open and stimulating discussions. Young scientists in particular benefit from this intensive exchange.
